Ada witch - Sometimes you can see a misty blue figure floating within a 3-mile radius of the Ada Cemetery on 2 Mile between Egypt Valley and Honey Creek. The
story of her origin is as follows: A man suspected his wife of having an affair, so he followed her late one night when she thought he was asleep. Sure
enough, she went to a field near their property where she met her lover. The husband was enraged and killed his wife, which resulted in a struggle with the other
man. Both men died from their injuries. It is said that late at night (especially during the night of and the nights preceding a full moon) people driving by the
field can see her ghost, searching for her lover. Some people have reported stopping to try to communicate with her, but she always disappears or runs into the woods where
she cannot be followed (due to the thick brambles that inhabit the area). She is said to dress in a long white gown which authorities say dates her to the
turn of the 20th century. Usually she is seen alone, but sometimes witnesses report seeing a ghostly death scene re-enacted... Others report seeing nothing at all but hearing the killer's
shouts of rage followed by the victims' screams of agony... Although it is said she haunts the field on Honeycreek Road where she died, other witnesses have reported her in
nearby Seidman Park, and in nearby Findlay Cemetery, where she is supposedly buried. This story was actually featured in the book "Ghosts of Grand Rapids."
A little girl was killed suddenly while waiting for a school bus by a speeding car. Since her death things have happened. The day of her funeral she started knocking
on doors of the house she was born in.1 month later as her clothes were to be removed the doors in the home flew open with no reason. Cold spots
now can be felt & knocking at the door is still present to this day in the home. Also when there swings in the yard you could see them swing
real high as if someone was swinging on them. lights like to go on & off in this home & she does move things to let someone know she is
there. The cemetery where this child lies has had alot of activity also. When you visit her grave she has a twirly that will start going around & round with
no reason or wind blowing to let you know she is present. Some have said she has been spotted walking the cemetery very restless as if she doesn't realize she
has passed on.
If you take Gorman Rd. west towards Sand Creek, you will come to a gravel road leading north. A mile or so up this road you will come to narrow
one lane trestle bridge. The road goes under this. Legend has it that at one time there was a farm house built near the tracks. Late one night a fire
broke out in the barn. While the father ran to the barn to try to get the horses out, his wife and young son went to the tracks to wave
down one of the many trains that would use that right of way. They were too close to the tracks however and both were struck by the train as it
went past. The father was killed in the barn. Now if you go out there late at night, you can sometimes communicate with the Father. He will not allow you
to talk to his wife or son; as if he was protecting them . There are other people living in the area now, and a large streetlight has been placed
there by the people who own the neighboring land. If you stay there to long, they will call the police. However if you make your visit short enough they will
usually leave you to it. This place has also been described as a good place to go to contact other spirits. The Father can be asked to help in this
matter. He will not allow antagonistic spirits to talk however; once again to protect his family.
In the 1970's, one room, room 211, in the old section of the dorms exhibited several phenomena. Don't know if this still continues today. The door into the room from
the hallway, as well as the door into the bathroom, would open and shut on their own, the main door even if it had been locked. After closing, it would
be locked again. There was also a spot on one wall (a wall that the room shared with a boarded up, no longer used laundry shaft) where two points of
light would appear, shaped similar to eyes. Attempts were made to explain their appearance (they were visible any time it was dark in the room). They were screened off from
the windows to see if they might be reflections, they weren't. When objects were placed between them and the windows they actually became brighter. We tried painting the walls, putting
several coats of paint over them (thinking they may have been a joke of a previous resident, made with glow in the dark paint) - also having used sandpaper on
the wall in that spot first before painting. They still appeared bright as ever after the painting. We tried covering them over by hanging a picture over them, but the
picture kept falling down or moving. Last attempt to hang picture (it was a drawing on a piece of paper and simply taped to the wall) resulted in us waking
up the next morning to find it taped to the ceiling over my bed. We finally moved a tall dresser in front of it and that seemed to take care
of it. Reports from later residents told us that they had placed a mirror over it, and they had a rocker in the room. One night during a party, with
several witnesses, the rocker began rocking on its own, then flew back and smashed the mirror. Have had no contact with the school since graduation, so don't know if these
things still happen or not.

On a winding dirt road next to the Rogue River called Friske, there is a small turn-around for no particular reason. On this turn-around, there is a trail that leads
off a ways into the woods. If you follow the trail, it leads to an old iron bridge called Hell's Bridge. It is said that if you are sitting or
standing on the bridge at midnight you can hear the devil laughing. The reason is, in the 1800's, when Algoma didn't really exist and Rockford was known as Laphamville, a
man named Elias Friske murdered several children and claimed a demon made him do it. Later the bodies were found in the part of the river where the bridge is
now. Sometimes you can also hear the children crying, @r the noise of splashing water where their bodies were thrown. Some fishermen in the early morning have reported seeing a
strange figure near the bridge...

covered in blood. Still others have reported seeing her hanging from a tree by a noose. The road has been on the popular show Unsolved Mysteries as well as several
local news channels. Now there is a movie being made about the road. the story behind the road is a woman went out in the middle of the night to
find her toddler that had somehow got out alone in the winter they both froze to death, it is a fact that if you park on the bridge at midnight
and honk your horn three times she will appear and see if you have her baby. She is also said to be wearing a white blood covered gown carrying her

Mercywood was a mental hospital before closing down. security guards heard the elevators moving when the building was empty. Sounds would come from the boiler room. In the basement were
personal belongings of the inmates. There was also a bowling alley and bumper pool tables in the basement. There were insane rambling written on the walls in some of the
rooms. Behind the hospital there was a convent where the nuns lived that worked in the hospital and even to go in there was a very uneasy feeling. It is
like you can feel the insanity that surrounded the place. Also an evil feeling. They have since torn down the old hospital but something has been built there recently. It
is on Jackson Ave. in Ann Arbor a little way down from the cemetery next to I-94 on the right side if you are going west.

ghost looking on. These ghosts also window peep (on the second floor). They certainly appear to be fun loving. Another story tells of the daughter of a former hotel manager,

sales manager who quit after seeing an Indian in the sales office walk thru a wall. There is also a story not verified that a police officer shot a teenager

found a rope on a tree and hung himself. Now they say that the witch haunts seven gables, she doesn't want anyone there, Every person that has attempted to go
to seven gables have taken Williamston road and either died by a car accident or almost died. No one know why. Trust me we know.

There are many stories about this house. One is the mother (Mrs. Reinke) was standing in her kitchen putting away groceries, and looked up and saw twin daughters (around 6
years old) holding hands and walking toward her. They walked right past her and out the door down towards Budd Lake. Another story is the large man story. Mr. Reinke
was tying up his boat when he looked up into his bedroom window and saw a large figure of a man in the window. He rushed up to make sure
everything was ok and when he got there, nothing was in the room. Soon after, another sighting of this large man happened. The daughter was sleeping when she noticed that
a light was coming from her closet. The way the light comes through the window it would be impossible to be shining into the closet. She looked away, and when
she looked back, saw a large man in her closet, the same man her dad had seen earlier. She described the man looking just the way her dad had seen,
and he hadn't told anyone about the man yet (he didn't want to look stupid). The next day, the whole family was out of the house, and no one had
been there all day. When the daughter came home, she found her room in total shambles, everything in the closet had been thrown around, and figurines and other possessions where
seen lying on the ground. Another story has to do with the son. One night he could hear a bouncing ball in the attic above his room. He hears it
about once every month or so, and if he gets annoyed with it, he tells the ghost or whatever is bouncing the ball to quit, and it usually does. He
is very used to it, and it doesn't scare him anymore to hear it. All of the son's friends are afraid to sleep in the house, and will not really
sleep in any rooms alone.

Years ago, there was an accident at Oak Hill Cemetery, the other cemetery in Ionia, in which five kids went in at night, though it's not sure what they went

last kid survived in the scatter, but refused to explain what had happened, or how he'd survived, to police or anyone. On the first Saturday of every month between 2
and 3 A.M, if survived walks to the gate, and waits to safely guide you through. It seems as though he can protect you now in death, though he couldn't
protect them in life.

While the rest of the theater is pleasant enough, the basement is a whole other story. While performing there, members of our group were unwilling to go alone into the
basement for some props and folding chairs. If you attempt it alone and are the least bit sensitive you'll find yourself frozen in place on the top step. The sense
of evil is overwhelming. When accompanied and with several lights on, you'll get the feeling of being watched from the shadows (of which there are plenty).

Oakwood Cemetary - Oakwood stands on the corner of Cannonsburg and Brewer roads. Just west of Oakwood, until recently, stood the old Brewer family estate. Just west of that is
a long lay of Grand River Valley land that once was the lumbertown of Austerlitz. There is much forgotton and paved-over history there. In the 1980's motorists returning home from
Grand Rapids at night told of a woman who stood on the corner of Brewer and Cannonsburg roads she wore no coat, though the weather at the times during which
she appeared was always disagreable. She was seen in cold rains and wet snows. This rural area just at the edge of town was not completely desolate so there are
no stories of motorists stopping to offer the apparition a ride. As the stories go, she never thumbed or indicated in any way that that she was in distress, she
just stood there enduring the elements. Could she have been a live person? Doubtfull, Homes were far enough away from Oakwood that there would have been no reason for a
young woman to stand out on that corner late at night in nasty weath with no coat.

Everyone in town knows that this area was hit hard during the depression, and a hobo town was located where K-Mart is now. Well the legend goes that a homeless
guy was trying to hitchhike on Pine Mountain Road up to Marquette for work and was hit by a truck. The driver left his body there for someone else to
find and by the time someone found him his body was too mutilated and decomposed to identify. Many people report seeing a man after midnight with a long white beard
in 20's era clothes trying to flag them down. His eyes are big and white, almost like he's scared. If you happen to see, "The Hitch" as we call it
he disappears when you look back where he was standing.

communities, and it is curious that

Verna Drive - Update: The following reported haunting is a hoax.- The Monroe County Paranormal Society have just investigated this claim and their contacts in the sheriff's department tell them
that there has never been such a murder in the entire county, let alone in the quiet of Bedford Township. Also Lambert Estates also has never existed. One also has
to wonder how such a horrific tragedy as the game show story never even made it to the local news. - Off Monroe Road in Lambertville, Michigan, there is a
subdivision called Lambert Estates. Lambert Estates is mostly made up of a road called Verna Drive. The subdivision was formed in 1957. In the early summer of 1978, Steven Madison,
a 33-year-old worker for a glass plant in Toledo, Ohio, walked into a home on Verna Drive and killed an elderly couple with a hammer found in the garage. He
then moved into several other houses that night, and killed 7 others. 3 male adults, 1 female adult, 2 male children, and 2 female children. He used a block of
firewood to kill a family of 3, a wood saw to kill a young college graduate, and smothered or strangled the other 3. He then went into the woods next
to the neighborhood and hung himself from a maple tree. Reports of screams often come from two houses in the neighborhood. In the early July's, residents report a figure of
a man walking down the street carrying a piece of firewood wearing a green shirt and jeans that appear to be blood stained. A neighbor once approached the man after
seeing him 3 consecutive nights. When the man was asked who he was, he turned and faced the resident with a frightening wide grin and wide eyes. He walked off
after not responding and disappeared in the front yard of an residents house. He was also reported seen in the woods, hanging from a tree, when the owner of the
woods walked in one evening while walking his dog. He noticed nothing out of the ordinary at first, until when standing under a tree; drops of water fell on him.
He looked up and saw him hanging by his neck as if he just died. The water was apparently tears that the man shed. An investigation was conducted to investigate
the level of paranormal activity. The investigation was part of a game show where a group of people spent a week in the now abandoned neighborhood, to determine whether it
was haunted. By the end of the week, a member of the investigating team disappeared and had not been found until two months later. He was found nearly dead in
the glass plant in Toledo wear Steven Madison was employed. To this day the neighborhood remains empty, yet still stands. - June 2008 Update - The first posting for Lambert
estates indicates it is abandoned. The update then states that the neighborhood never existed. Actually, not only has it existed, it remains very much occupied to this day. Every house
is very well maintained. However, it is not in Temperance, it is in Lambertville, the next town over.

The park is filled with drunk bums and well one day some teenagers saw a bum that was drunk and was walking around saying he was tired. Well then the

that was against the water and walk to the beer well one of the teens bumped him and he fell in drowning. Now if you go at 10:30p.m (the time
it happened) you can see the bum walking on the concrete wall.

can be heard faintly.
Uncountable skeletons were also unearthed when the foundation was laid for the Grand Hotel which now is supposed to hold many spine tingling feelings. The little horse coral behind the
fort is supposedly right where the first post cemetery was. Not all of the bodies were removed when the US moved the cemetery to its present location.
Its been said to me that only sometimes when people go over the Mackinac Bridge you can here a little baby crying because the parents had gotten into a accident
on the bridge and they went over the side of the bridge and they had a little baby in the car with them. - May 2008 Update – There have
been 2 accidents that are listed on Wikipedia 1 in 1989 @ 1 in 1997. Neither accident mentioned a baby. 5 Workers dies on the bridge during its construction. <

Any area of the island that had enough soil as at one time used as a cemetery. When soldiers built a garden in what is now Marquette park they unearthed
over 1000 sets of remains. The entire town is haunted.
When the Mission House (now state employee housing) was built it was at the heart of a Christian mission to convert Indians who lived on the island. When Indian children
who were living there became sick with TB they were locked in the cool damp basement because it was thought that this would help them. It didn't. State employees report
the ghosts of children all over the basement and first two floors of the house. The attic is less haunted but people feel presences and alarm clocks get tipped over.
The forms of children can be seen walking around often at night inside. Reportedly, none of the presences are not hostile.
Supposedly, a high school student named 'Harvey' had just been dumped by his girlfriend. He was so depressed that he jumped off the bluff behind Mission Point. He became a
nuisance; People who worked in the carpenter shop would clean up sawdust, and it would be scattered around the place the next morning as if it had never been touched
after work. Also, things would be moved to another place, or disappear. Other sightings included soldiers being seen walking around Mission Point's theatre and other places.

During the early 60's there was a killer loose in Madison Heights. He used to bury his bodies in the landfill which is now a hill used for sledding right
next to Lamphere High School. Every once and a while you can hear insane laughter around the school.
Every single time you go to the park you will see a little girl at the play ground staring at you if you stare at her for 5 seconds she
will disappear. If you go and play at the park she will do anything to keep you away because she believes she owns it to her self. When you go
on slides she pushes you down and gets you really scared for you to leave. When you are on a swing you feel somebody pushing you really hard she pushes
you really hard you fall of and hurt your self. People say she died by a gun shot at the park on the best day of her life.
there is the place in the woods off of a remote road outside of Chelsea. It is called Pink Palace. It is an old Victorian style large pink home with
dogs as gates. It is very dilapidated and not very stable yet, still stands. It is rumored that Satanists hold meetings there. It has spray paint on the inside walls
in Latin and the bathroom upstairs has a tub that seems to have blood all over it. You get a frigid chill as soon as you enter and some say
they her voices. In the back is the supposed slaughterhouse.
This theatre is thought to be haunted. Actors and custodians have all experienced such phenomenon as doors closing behind them and lighting fixtures falling to the ground near the stage
and throughout the rest of the building. In one promotional picture from a few years ago, the distinct image of the founder, T.J. Ramsdell, appears to be floating in the
air near the balcony seats.
- Drummond Island - Drummond Island is said to be haunted by two ghosts of headless British soldiers. During the War of 1812 there where two British soldiers who went
AWOL, and a price was placed on their heads. Two Indians near the fort ran off on snowshoes to pursue the deserters. The deserters had built a fire to warm
themselves on Manitoulin Island (in Canada now) and began to doze while sitting by their large blaze. The Indians snuck up behind them and with a few swift chops of
their hatchets the soldiers were decapitated. The Indians brought their heads back to the fort and collected their bounty. Now people say sometimes you can see a fire burning on
the shore and two headless figures pacing around it. Some people claim to have driven up quite close in their boat and had the whole scene disappear before them.
The Lighthouse right in town, By Anita's You can see a Figure with a very dim lantern walking up around the outer deck, it is said that when the town
was called Newport, the caretaker of the lighthouse died while watching for the ships, his wife found him 3 weeks later.
Once in a great while employees of the kitchen claim that machines will turn on when no one is around, such as mixers, dishwasher, etc. The very rare occasions have
pretty much stopped but just recently in the summer of 2003 a radio/C.D. player boombox was said to "have a mind of it's own". It started with the volume increasing
by it's self over the corse of 5-10 minutes to the point where it was full blast and had to be turned down. But a little while later it would
turn it's self up again, blaring loud and causing frusteration among employees. One Sunday morning during a busy breakfast rush, a frusterated employee turned the power button off since it
wouldn't stay at a reasonable volume level. Minutes later the radio suddenly turned on loud as can be. The red-faced employee turned it off again, and five minutes later the
words "sugar, sugar, oh honey, honey!" came blaring out of the speakers (the radio station was placed at 104.3, oldies station). The employee grabbed the radio, unplugged it and sat
it underneath a table. This ended the incents for that day and the night crew workers claimed they had no problems with the radio at all after they plugged it
in that same night. All week the radio was fine until Sunday morning came. The breakfast buffet near the dining room was getting busy and kitchen workers became busy as
well. The radio started turning it's self up again. The same employee from last Sunday battled it for 2 hours having to turn the volume down every 10-15 minutes. Everyone
thought it was broken or something. He eventually turned it off and became very frusterated. And about 20 minutes later, the song "Edge Of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks suddenly blared
from the radio. The employee stared at the radio shaking his head as workers yelled for him to turn it down. He gritted his teeth, unplugged it, and wrapped the
cord around it. It remained silent and still for an hour until it suddenly "hurled it's self towards him" but missed him by a few inches and hit the floor.
The radio was permanently shot and would not work after this incident. Other strange incidents involved objects disappearing (knives, utinsils, etc.) while employees were just using them seconds earlier. After
searching the kitchen for them they would be neatly placed where the cooks had originally placed them. Also, the same employee that dealed with the radio incident claimed that vegetables
such as squash, potatoes, etc. would be neatly placed on a cutting board but nobody needed them and would have to be put back. This also occured with other items.
One time a 5-gallon jug of milk was found sitting on a table in the kitchen. After checking the milk machine it was full with milk. He asked around if
anyone got the milk out. Puzzled, the waitresses said no. He placed the milk jug back in the walk in refrigerator. He began chopping up some vegetables when all of
the sudden an entire shelf of pizza pans (about 15 inches wide and 30 inches high) fell spreading loud bobbling pizza pans all over the floor. Seconds later 3 metal
hotel pans fell off a shelf causing a he racket. The frusterated employee walked out, but returned the next day for work. This was like the grand finale for the
poltergeist, if it even was a poltergeist, because nothing has happened since for several months. These events started out of the blue and only lasted two weeks and then abruptly
stopped. Even before they occured nothing unusual ever happened there for years.
Years ago there was a house that sat back in the wood and they had a lot of horses the name of the family we the Morrises. One night a
man on a black horse came up to the families home and shot the 2 kids, the mother, the father, and the maid then he rode off and stole one
of their horses. They were buried in the Anderson Cemetery to this day the headstone still is there and on the night of the murder the headstone glows.

John X. Jamrich Building room 102 Control Room - Several people have seen the face of a young woman in the window of the control room, part of a large
lecture room used by Northern Michigan University to show films on campus. A "shadowlike" face has been seen in the window of the control room during film showings on several
occasions in the past two years. Also, the face has been seen twice by students cleaning up the room after a film event. The room is very small and is
used for storage, but has also been a place where nursing students recorded their names on the wall before graduation. The rumor, by students, is that the face belongs to
a former nursing student who remains to look after the wall.
Halverson Hall room 304 - It has been rumored that a ghost has been sited in room 304 of Halverson hall at Northern Michigan University. It was believed that the
person hung themselves from their loft.
Music Building - The ghost reported in the Forest Roberts theater elevator can not be because the theater has no elevator! The music building does, however, and it is where
a janitor named Perry had a heart attack in the 60's. The elevator moves up and down on its own at all hours. It has even been recorded at midnight
and later when nobody else has been near the building but music students practicing.

Thomas Fine Arts Building - The Forrest Roberts theater and Thomas fine arts building are connected by a service corridor. The elevator moves it's self from floor to floor empty
as if being called. It only does this at night. It has also stopped for several seconds while people were using it in the day. It is believed that Perry
haunts both buildings, and possibly even the McClintoc building, which is also connected.
Residents near the building say that children were beaten and killed in the orphanage. One story was that a little girl went outside to play during a winter blizzard and
got pneumonia. She later died from that and her body was displayed in the front lobby as an example of what happens when the kids play outside. People have seen
figures inside the house and heard mysterious sounds of children from inside. The 6 story orphanage still stands today with half the windows and all the doors boarded up.
The Shamrock, on Front Street, is reported haunted. The building was built in the late 1800's, and was originally a furniture store doubling as a funeral home. It was common
for furniture makers to build caskets years ago. The building was converted to a bar years later (I think the 1930's). Most of the hauntings are late at night, after
the bar has closed.

If you take M-19 (Van Dyke Rd.) and follow it through Richmond to Memphis, the cemetery is on the right side. It is a small cemetery, but there is a
narrow dirt road that runs through. At the very back center of the cemetery there is a huge black marble stone called the "witch's ball". If you get close enough
you can see faces and shadows in the stone, just like a crystal ball. Voices have been heard and apparitions have been seen there too.

5 years ago a married man with 2 children came out of the closet. his wife wanted a divorce because of this, and he was devastated at potentially losing his
kids. He was a very religious man, as many midlanders are, and also mentally instable. He thought that the only way that they could be together forever would be if
they were all dead, so one night when he was leaving Bennegains with what may have been his last dinner with custody of his children, he stopped the car in
the middle of the parking lot and broke down crying. He then locked the doors and shot his two children, then himself. Now at night in the parking lot, you
can see a man and a little boy and girl walking out the door then vanish. If you honk your horn 3 times at around 7:15 then close your eyes
and open them again, a car will appear facing you head on with a man crying blood in the front seat, then vanish in a big green flash. Many orbs
have been spotted too.
There are reports of toilets flushing, people seen sitting in seats after hours, strange noises, and a man with a beard and overalls has been reported.
There is a lot of activity at the Midland Cemetery! the constant feeling of being followed, including hearing footsteps; screams coming from the back section, several voices that sounds like
a group of friends chit-chatting coming from the south-west (front-right) section; sudden cold-spots galore; bird-like noises at 11-12midnight (when birds just don't sing); balloons floating crazily about when there is
no wind at all; One investigator claims to have recorded a very clear evp of two voices calling their name and asking for help; orbs-a-plenty in the military section.
Back in the 1980s a man killed his whole family a son, a daughter, a wife, and a 1 year old infant. He made his 14 year old son starve
to death in the basement while he was chained to the wall and floor. He killed his wife by five hits of a hammer to the head. He then wrapped
her in a white bed sheet and left her in the attic to rot. He then killed his daughter and 1-year-old infant and shoved them into the 1st floor bathroom
walls. People who go there the second or third time end up seeing things like a baby skull in the wall of the bathroom, and chains in the dark end
of the basement. Some people who have gone and made it back have had close encounters with accidents on the way home from the house.
At night while driving East on Wheeler Rd near Meyer Hill, it's been reported that you can see car lights coming toward you, then they will instantly vanish. There are

on the back of they're neck when they're stocking shelves. They have even seen people walking around, and then when they go to see if they need help...they are gone.

During the 1980's and through the 1990's many bodies were dumped in this junk yard. Most of them were do to professional killings. Since this place was once a hot
spot to dump bodies it has become very much haunted. There have been reports of screams coming from the junkyard during the night. Also many police reports have been done
on the sighting of people standing by the road. When the motorist would stop to help these people they would be gone. One wild report states that the motorist believed
he hit a person but no damage was found on the car. This Junk Yard has and is becoming a smoking hot spot for ghosts and Hauntings. The owner of
the yard now makes sure the place is always closed before dark and there has been a for sale sign in front of this yard for more than three years
going. No one wants to buy the property. - June 2008 Update/Correction: The pervious owner reports there were never any bodies found in the junkyard, but, another previous owner was
murdered by his wife's boyfriend. The murder has been featured on court TV. The new owner does claim that there is some paranormal activity in the office where he was
murdered at(doors slamming and odd noises). She says she just tells him to take a seat and nothing happens after that. It is private property so there is absolutely NO
TRESPASSING. There is a heavy police presence in the area. If you call or visit during business hours she is more than willing to share her stories and she seemed
open to have an investigation as long as you clear it with her.
Beddow Hall - Reports of hearing footsteps on the floor above you. Only to follow them up to the roof. Also throughout the hall, things have come up missing but

for no reason and there has been unexplained pounding coming from inside the basement walls. Each night employees yell up the stairs to make sure no one is in the
building and twice their yell of " Any one up there??" has been answered by the ghost. Once two employees heard a man's deep laugh when closing down the building
for the night and another two experienced footsteps running toward them down a stairway. Another night an employee was setting the alarm and he looked down a hallway and saw
a giant white streak soar across from one office to the next.

Warriner Hall - long ago there was a young actress who frequented Warriner Hall (CMU campus). Evidently at some performance or rehearsal...she was downstairs from a friend of hers and
decided to call up to this friend using the Dumbwaiter shaft that had been out of commission for some time. As she leaned her head in, the dumbwaiter came crashing
down and beheaded her! Since the incident, there have been a few sightings. A mysterious blue lighting accompanies her spirit, and she has never been seen by a crowd...generally she
is seen by actors or stage hands working alone. She seems a bit of a prankster, dropping lights, or gels or ladders. December 2003 Addition or update: Some say
it was a cleaning lady who died in the dumbwaiter and she was cleaning it out and people see her on the stage singing

red, dimly glowing eyes.
This building used to be one of the most used State Mental hospitals for the criminally insane. There they would house people that would range from serial killers to rapists,
but no matter the crime they were there for good...And they deserved to be. This place was never fenced in, didn't have electrical locking doors, and even let their patients
wander freely on the grounds. Consequently many escaped. Nowadays the place is shut down. Too many people escaped and horrible things happened towards it's end. Such things like an orderly
living in the houses provided for them just a few hundred feet away from the hospital was subject to the torture of one of the patients. She was raped and
killed. Several of the escaped patients would harm civilians or stalk them....And finally the city of Mt. Pleasant closed down this hell hole. Hardly any information can be found on
it now. It's really a very closed and touchy subject...but if you travers on the grounds, you'll find many disturbing things. Blood stains on the floors of the hospital, the
yard for the children (eerie in and of itself becaue they housed children next to criminals)and even in broad daylight you can see and FEEL the presence of these spirits.
There's a chain on the wall of one of the buildings that's completly sealed off....this is where they would chain like dogs the patients they didn't want wandering off more
than the others...The place itself is imposing to visit let alone when the ghosts come out at night. Their moaning and wailing can be heard and their forms can be
seen....(There are police that regularly patrol the grounds warding off college kids and protecting the other buildings on the property still running, but the state mental wards are closed)
weird noises and apparitions. Things disappear and reappear. Cold spots and various odors. The elevators have minds of their own and you just feel like you are never alone. Sometimes
the feeling of being watched.
The Northshore Hospital was once used for TB patients. Later it was converted and housed the mentally ill. After funding ran out the hospital was closed and abandoned. The eerie
dwelling was a huge brick building looming on the outskirts of the quaint town of North Muskegon. Inside you could feel the evil among the dank walls which were covered
in graffiti with readings such as "the house of the dead", "I can see you", and many odd pictures of creatures and eyes. The basement of the old dwelling was
the most energetic place in the entire hospital. Cold drafts and unexplained noises filled the empty hallways. It was the most terrifying, strange place to experience. - September 2004 update:
the hospital has been destroyed. Nothing but a flattened pile of rubble exists and is safely kept behind a high cyclone fence.
Sightings by several employees over the years of Charles Hackley. Objects moving on their own, and sounds heard.
Every now and then, my friend will walk past the church in her neighborhood, and hear babies crying. But when she looks back nothing is there! She knew that no
one was in the church because it is not open unless there is Saturday night mass or on Sunday. To this day she still does not know where the baby
had been.
Mr. Putnam had TB so he took himself out in the carriage house and shot himself in the chest and in the head and survived. The next day around 4:00
o'clock he was dead. The next suicide case was a maid of the Putnam's that had an affair with the nephew of the Putnam's but he totally denied doing that
with her and later when she found out she was pregnant at 16 she took the nephew's gun and shot herself. When Mrs. Putnam had her only children they were
twins but the day after they were born they died. Today they say the Maid, Mrs. Putnam, and Mr. Putnam still live hear and guard the place. They also used
to hold funerals here.

was blown out by a draft in the middle of the night. He is buried in a tomb in the cemetery. It is said that his mother had an underground
pathway built under the road to her son's tomb and she would visit the tomb every night. They say to this day, you can see the woman's ghost walk across

In the old city of Northville in the 40's and 50's, were many insane asylums. They were not even a mile apart and ran through the whole town. They were
all linked underneath the ground, for underground passages of very mentally ill patients and there's rumors that that's where many of the out of control patients were punished, not to
alarm the others. The tunnels go all through the town, and under buildings, which are now on the place of the asylums. The tunnels are blocked off but the people
who are brave enough to go in have experienced screaming, voices, moaning and orbs. Feelings of people behind you, crashes against the walls, and more. The tunnels are miles long
and are tight compacted areas. There is a 200 dollar fine for anyone to go there, seeing as the late 80's and 90's brought many Satanists there trying to summon
up spirits. - Update: The buildings of the insane asylum have now been torn down and they are building a sub-division on the land. They had tried many times
to get a company to come and build there and always something went wrong. They finally got some company to build expensive homes there and now there is a worry
for the people who purchase their homes there. It is the whole block on the north-east corner of Sheldon and 5 mile roads.

This warehouse has been haunted by many ghosts. There is a graveyard close by which could be the reason for many of the ghosts inside this company building. People said
that the ghosts look like they were from the 1800's because they were wearing really old dresses. Other strange things happen like objects move.
formerly Home Sweet Home - A couple from the early 1800's is said to haunt their once home. There is a 12-ft oak banister right in the doorway where the
man is said to appear. Also strange noises in the bathroom and dining areas. Although it is used as a restaurant, nobody ventures into the attic where lights and other
sightings have been witnessed. When standing/parked directly facing the front of the house, in the attic window on the right side of the house witnesses have seen the face of
a man. He looked like he was wearing a blue war outfit (with big silver buttons.) He has reddish brown hair and a thin beard. (We took a flashlight with
us on the night we saw him.)The building is located at 9-and Novi road, yet it can't seem to stay open for business. - November 2003 Update: The ghost believed
to be haunting the place is actually in a painting that was placed over the window to patch a break in the pane. And the picture is believed to be

A family called the Church family built the old hospital in the 1800s. It was their house until they died and their other family members didn't want anything to do
with the house, so Henry Ford bought the old house and turned it into a hospital in 1944. The kids included in the family were two boys and a 9-year-old
girl. The 9-year old girl loved horses so they had five horses. So, in that case, there are horse stables in the back. The little girl loved her horse and
rode it everyday. Until one day, the little girl fell off the horse and broke her arm. The dad got mad and thought it was the horse's fault that his
little girl broke her arm. So while she was at school one day, her dad killed the horse for hurting his little girl. The dad and his friend buried the
horse on the side of their house. If you go to the side of the house where the dad and his friend buried the horse, there will be a little
hill where the horse is. When the little girl came home and found out what her dad did, everyday from then on, she would come home from school, lock hers
in her room, put her rocking chair in front of her window and she would sing to herself. Well, when the family died and Henry Ford bought the house, that
was then the hospital, there was an old man that was in the hospital and his hospital room was what used to be the little girl's bedroom. While he was
lying there in his bed, he heard singing, then he heard footsteps. When he got out of the hospital, he had someone set up thermal cameras in the room he
was in and sure enough, they saw a figure in front of the window. After Henry Ford bought the hospital, six doctors wanted to build a bigger one and that's
how the newer Riverside Hospital came about. They ended up closing down the old hospital 5 years ago because they found black mold growing in the building, which can kill
you. They closed down the newer hospital one year ago because it was too much to keep up. Also, the Henry Ford company wanted to move everything to Wyandotte so
Riverside lost business. There is a stack by the hospital. In a little tunnel thing outside of the new hospital, there is a furnace type thing. That's where they burned
the amputated body parts of people. Also in that little tunnel, is the old morgue. THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL SEEN IN THE WINDOW THAT WAS MENTIONED ABOVE. SHE WAS

Fort Roberdeau - Legend says a guard was guarding the fort when an Indian attacked and killed him they also found the body of a young boy and the boys
dog. the fort is farther down the road and off to the right. This is a reconstructed fort of the original. Road to fort there are 2 fields on each
side of the raod on the right side of the road there are telephone poles sit at the 3rd pole at dark and look straight ahead there a guard of
the fort was killed and he still patrols to this day. The guard is a black shadow. Also you can hear a young child’s laughter and dog barking. The dog
is a white ball of fog that appears out of no where.
Beulah Road - This legend is a cross between the spectral hitchhiker stories you have heard before and the sort of "Resurrection Mary" type tales familiar to the Chicago
area. the ghost of the white lady still walks at night. For historical background there used to be a hotel at the top of the Wopsononock Mountain that was a
fairly common getaway for people in Altoona. The Wopsononock hotel and famous lookout burned in the early part of the 20th century and was never rebuilt. In fact, at one
time it was serviced by a narrow gauge railroad know as the "Alley Popper" although that has nothing to do with this tale. The road heading up to the Wopsy
Lookout (as it is known hereabouts) is now Juniata Gap road in Altoona. This road is a treacherous one bearing a curve known as the "Devil's Elbow" which has been
the scene of many accidents. Apparently in the early part of the century a couple was married and was heading to the hotel at the lookout for their honeymoon. I
know nothing of the father chasing them which is related to the Ebensburg tale you have given. The legend goes that they were both from Altoona and were heading up
the road leading to the hotel when the carriage went over the edge rounding the Devil's Elbow. Both were apparently killed but the body of the husband was never recovered.
Since then travelers on this road have encountered the specter of a woman in white, sometimes seen to be carrying a candle, who apparently is looking for something. Variations on
the tale have her waylaying young men and looking them over to see if they are her husband, or hitching rides with young men headed for the top of the
mountain and then disappearing near the Devil's Elbow. Apparently this spirit has also been seen on the road leading up the mountain where the lookout can be accessed from the
other direction, Buckhorn Mountain, and she is also known as the "White Lady of the Buckhorn" as well as the "White Lady of Wopsononock". The site of the old hotel
now is littered with television and radio towers and is still a sort of "lover's lane" spot for a lot of folks. Apparently some of the technicians at the towers
have reported seeing her, but the most recent account (late 1990's) involved a man who offered her a ride. She apparently got into the car and he could not see
her in the rear view mirror but could see her when he turned around. She said nothing to him and disappeared at the Devil's Elbow. Much like Resurrection Mary, it
is a difficult tale to dispute since it has occurred so often to so many people over such a long stretch of time. Although the historical details are sketchy! No
one knows who she was or when the accident actually took place. If you ever get a chance to get to this area take a trip on either road and
you may get a chance to run into her.

This was one of the last remaining iron furnaces in the Eastern United States. Legend has it that an old settler, who had gambled away all of his money, came

alive. On a clear fall night, one can hear the squealing of dogs by the furnace.

on downstairs. Wishing to investigate, they head down stairs. This house had a sealed up staircase (It had its own room). When they got to the door, they could hear
people talking and smell coffee. As they opened the door, the smell and sound disappeared. It reappeared when they returned to their beds.

Mudlick Hollow - It is said that in the 1800s tragedy struck when a young newlywed couple was riding their horse drawn buggy through the hollow on their way home
after the wedding. A small animal is said to have darted out of the woods, spooking the horses and causing the buggy to roll off the road and into the
creek. The bride died from a broken neck and the groom was pinned under a horse (who had become lame) and slowly died next to his new bride. It is
said by many locals that on very dark nights a fog creeps up onto the road (which is more of a dirt lane) and you can hear a horse drawn
buggy fast approaching behind you, but before it comes upon you there is a crash, a scream, then all is silent and the fog vanishes.

Jim Thorpe - The old Carbon County Prison was last used in 1995. There have been numerous reports of unexplained phenomena at the prison in recent years. The most famous
ghost story associated with the prison is the hand print left in a cell by a man wrongfully accused of being a member of the Molly Maguires. The Molly Maguires
were a group of disgruntled miners in the 1870's who used violence as a means to bring about change in the corrupt mining industry. Several men were accused, arrested, and
eventually hanged at the prison for being Molly Maguires. On the eve of his execution, a man who proclaimed his innocence ran his hand along the dirty floor of his
cell and made an impression of his hand on the wall, claiming the impression would always remain as proof of his innocence. The next day, he was hung and the
hand print was washed away. Three days later, the print reappeared. As legend has it, the wall has been repeatedly washed and painted, but the hand print always returns. The
wall was supposedly even ripped down and re-plastered, but the hand print returned yet again. The prison is now opened to tourist, but the cell with the hand print is
off limits. Visitors can still view the print through the cell door, though.

Originally the old Drexel Estate and then later before the school an orphanage- there are 2 tales here. The 1st is the story of an orphan that was murdered by
another. On the second floor of the school there are still 2 halls left with the original bedrooms- still not converted to classrooms. The halls are on the same floor
as the chapel. Students have claimed to see furniture move in those rooms. There is 1 old rocking horse in particular that will ALWAYS MOVE ON ITS OWN when the
room is occupied for too long. Because of the hostile vibe felt in that room, people believe that is the spirit of the murdering orphan, who also died there due
to a "freak" accident. There are also reports of students seeing two children late at night, running, fighting, and screaming through those halls. The 2nd story is the tale of
a nun who taught at the orphanage. She hung herself in the bell tower and haunts it to this day. Many times the bell will ring unexpectedly and late at
night a light will go on and off. Unlike the modern light that is suppose to be up there (which seems to always mysteriously short out), it looks like a
candle. Students who have tried to get up there have been spooked severely. The school has had the bell tower sealed off for years. Some students have reported coming back
from school dances and looking up to see the nun looking at them from the bell tower.
Now, next to the school there is a WAWA. Many, many years ago, long before the school was ever built, the grounds were a holding house for prisoners. Many of
the prisoners were mistreated and murdered by the guards. Their bodies were buried on the plot, unmarked, and later the school was built over their graves. Many times late at
night you can see them walking the grounds. They are very restless and some quite hostile. One summer, after the night of a full moon, the following morning all the
birds and squirrels in the surrounding trees were found mysteriously dead all over the school grounds. Drexel Hill in general is a HUGE paranormal area with rich history.

themselves. Sometimes if you put your feet on the back of the desk you feel something pushing on your foot. No matter what time of day it is you can

figures, not the shape of a dog, but about the size of a dog, linger in the parking lot. (I believe they are called imps) A particularly vengeful spirit has
sat outside of cars in which males are present. It’s believed it is the wife whom the husband beat to death and left on the front porch. It is also

In the early 1980's the diocese of Pittsburgh ordered the church padlocked at 3:00 AM without any warning to the parishioners. The only explanation the diocese would give is that
the floor of the 125 year old church was too weak and in danger of collapse. Since that time strange changes to the church have taken place. While the rest
of the colored panes of glass in the windows have retained their color the faces of the saints have turned black. Inside the church the walls have peeled and cracked,
the pews are filthy with bird droppings and dead birds, yet the area around the altar and the altar itself, which is draped a 100 year old altar cloth from
Ireland, is in pristine condition. As if it were ready for Sunday mass. There is a statue of Saint Michael the Archangel above the main entrance to the church posed

The Erie cemetery is said to be haunted. There are a few locations that are definitely eerie. The first one is a mausoleum. It's blackened, like it was burned. There's

and hear walking behind you while at this cemetery. When you turn around, though, no one is there. Witnesses have seen a big black dog there and when they looked
again, it wasn't there.

of a man hanging on a video security monitor. The camera was pointing toward the hallway in the upper parking level, leading from the magistrate's office toward the delivery garage

through the image on the camera as they checked the area. Later research in the historical society revealed that the hangings were conducted on the second floor on the prison
building, which would locate it in the area now known as upper parking in the new building, in that part of the office building near the intersection of Pittsburgh St.

Harrisburg State Hospital was an insane asylum for over 150 years. It admitted its first patient in 1851 as The Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital. It is located on the outskirts
of city limits of Harrisburg on a 200 acre plot, most of which falls within Susquehanna Township lines. There is an entrance on Cameron St. across from the Farm Show
complex and another one off of Elmerton Ave. A hiking and biking trail called the Capital Area Green Belt leads into another entrance in the Edgemont area of the city.
It closed its doors as an asylum in 2006, but the grounds and buildings are still in use today as offices for several state agencies such as the PA Office
of Mental Health. There are now over 50 buildings on the grounds, although a large portion of the land is still Woodland. Many different noises from screams to footsteps are
heard and many different visuals ranging from shadows to full-bodied apparitions are witnessed. The morgue, although very tiny, is 2 stories tall and the basement leads into the tunnels. There
are large blood-like stains on the floor and all the exam tables are still there. There is also poltergeist activity reported in the various buildings. Be warned, it may be
illegal to be on the property at night and there are some security guards. The morgue, stables, and some of the tunnel entrances are secluded enough to probably not be
noticed if entered at night, and since that area is right by the Green Belt, one could enter the property from that entrance and have the car readily available, but
it is probably best to try and get permission. It is DEFINITELY illegal to actually be in the tunnels or the morgue, as well as any other buildings that are
boarded up or locked.

building today.
Art Center - an Indian girl has been reported wandering about. Many have seen her and have interacted with her. She seems to enjoys the ceramics room the most.
Moffat Hall - Keystone College in itself is entirely haunted. Built in the 1800s, it has been said that the school grounds lay over an Indian burial ground; thus making
some very unhappy metaphysical presences. Moffat Hall was the first residence hall built on campus. Though there are quite a few known stories of many different people dying (suicide mostly),
there is no real known explanation for the ghost that haunts the girls bathroom in suite 2A. Walking into the bathroom late at night you can hear a girl crying,
an apparition of the girl has been spotted.
Ward Hall - Reports of lights turn on and off in the hallway and one time desks were lined up down the center of the hallway. Strange thing is,
the doors at the ends of the hallway are bolted shut allowing no one inside. - November 2005 Update: A ghost hunter recently visited Keystone College. A student took initiative
to show taped video footage of the basement of Ward Hall. In the video, a light at the end of the hall turned on mysteriously and a black blob-like entity
wandered across the end of the hall. The recording equipment was left overnight. No one was there to witness the event live.
Apparently in the late 1970's a female freshman committed suicide in her room on the third floor of South Ben Franklin dormitory because she could not handle the college's intense
workload. Since that time, whenever winter finals grow near, there are reports of screams in the night, sightings of a ghostly figure wandering the halls with a physics book, and
even the appearance of blood on the floor of her former room.
Reports of screams heard.
The section of the prison (the castle section) this section is the original Lancaster county prison from the 1800's 1900's where the prisoners served life sentences and were chained to
the wall. The old cells and chains are still there and are very creepy. Reports of whistling and whispering.
Residents have seen a tall figure standing at the end of their beds.

Turn off your car, turn off your lights. Various versions of the story describe in some way her apparition climbing over your car, or walking through your car. A few
people that tried this have had hand prints over their car that they didn't notice until they saw their car in daylight.
reports of feeling watched, doors slamming, hearing voices and screams.
Cars seem to run into people and then suddenly disappear. But people say they never saw a driver.
At the Lancaster Green Apartments, building K,2 young women were murdered. To this day no one knows who or what killed them. Some say that it was just a tree
branch falling on the roof. When their mother found them, their faces were ashen, eyes blood red, faces twisted with terror. Every year on the day they were found dead,
screams can be heard, echoing down the halls. There are also sounds of struggling, but then there is quiet. Then all of a sudden, you see a flash of light
in the halls, and then the power goes out. That happens about every two years for a few weeks on and off. I pity you if you live in that
building. Be careful.
Said to be known at night that in a kitchen located at one of the Manors that a white ghostly figure walks through the doors of the kitchen, it is
known to be a figure of a chef.
Its closed down now, and watched heavily by police. Voices have come from within the boarded up windows of this three story hotel. I've personally seen bricks fly out of
glass windows, and then come back the next day with friends and the window isn't broken anymore. I've never been inside of this place yet, but have heard other stories
about it other than what I've seen with my own eyes.
Seeing shadows move across the windows when you are standing outside. The building was built in the 1700's. The profile of a little boy is seen also.
A janitor who has been thought to worship Satan and committed suicide in 1978. Some students and faculty claim to see his spirit roaming the halls.
Now a residential treatment facility for kids with behavioral problems the land was originally owned by a woman named Molly Woods. (the whole facility was named after her). Molly Woods
was a patriot and allowed her property to be used as a makeshift hospice and cemetery for fallen Revolutionary soldiers because it was so near the battles in Trenton. Which
is a scant 10 minute drive from Langhorne. There are many accounts of apparitions...Molly's original manor is used as the business epicenter but there are many esteemed, pragmatic and intrepid
colleagues that refuse to go into that house after dark and state (without fanfare) that it is point-blank haunted.
Tales of a spectral monk have been in circulation and documented since the 1800s. Footsteps on the steps of the basilica's bell tower. Shadows and sightings of a monk that
was killed in the mill persist to this day...security frequently has to shut off the lights in the building even though no one is there. The ghost of Father Boniface
(the founding priest of St. Vincent) is said to come with such frequency that it's a freshman initiation rite. Father Boniface presumably rises from his grave on the day of
his death (early December), walks to the basilica to hear mass, then comes back and disappears. Stories also abound of a monk who wanders the area between St. Vincent's and
the nearby St. Xavier, which was a nearby convent. His cowl covers his face, and even when one tries to see who it is, one cannot see a face.
The inn was originally built by Mr. Coleman for his daughter. She was said to have killed herself in the house because her father would not allow her to marry
her true love because he was not of the upper call. Her ghost has been seen in the inn as well as other strange occurrences. The full story and history
of Inn422 can be found here http://www.inn422.com/history.html
Hotel Road - In the current state game lands just North West of Indiantown Gap, by Hawk Watch Mnt. Used to be the site of a summer hotel for the
rich in the early 1800's. Through its years it didn't make much money, the owners closed down the hotel for it to later be bought and remade into a boyscout
camp. The hotel suffered a horrifying fire and the majority of the residents inside of it burned to death. Just up the hill from the hotel is an old abandoned
railroad bed. Along this railroad bed, from the 1600's to late 1800's early 1900's, sat a multitude of mine towns. One such mine town, about 3 miles from the hotel,
was named Raush Gap. It had a population of about 1,000 people. This mine town house a family who's only job was to switch the tracks for the trains. The
man in the house fell ill and died, and during a time of morning his wife forgot to switch the tracks. This lead to a horrific train accident killing upwards
of 250 people. When the wreck was all cleaned up and the bodies buried in a, yet undiscovered because its hidden in the woods behind the current standing cemetery, mass
grave. The towns people turned on the woman for not doing her job and were on their way to lynch the woman. To their dismay they did not find her,
at least not alive, the woman had thrown herself in front of a moving train killing her instantly. To this day the part of the tracks where the wreck happened
you get a heavy feeling of pain on your chest, it is hard to breath, it is always about 20 - 30 degrees cooler than anywhere else. You can hear
the train whistle, and it is stated that you will see a figure of a woman holding a lantern, the lady with the lantern, roaming the tracks, seemingly looking for
the train she once lost. And if she sees you she will rush towards you and if she passes through you, you will die in a car accident that will
look like you were hit by a train.
Green Point - Moonshine church & Cemetery - Driving up the hill(Rt.443) to the church at night(church on the left/cemetery on the right) IF you dare to stop(especially at Halloween)
around midnight chances your car will shut offWeird noises can be heard around the whole area. Among various paranormal phenomena, the most commonly reported is that of car engines cutting
out when being driven past the cemetery. Also it's said that a girl went into the church and said The Lord's Prayer backwards and was struck dead by lightening. Also
in and around the same area(Indiantown Gap),it's said that The "Headless Horseman" rides through the valley looking for a new head. - March 2005 Correction: Earlier submitted that you see
blue eyes in the trees at the end of the cemetery, supposedly the "Blue-Eyed Six" were hung there for murdering a man. The cemetery at this church is said to
be haunted by the Blue-Eyed Six, a gang that murdered a local man and whose members were all subsequently hung in the cemetery as punishment(a play has been written about
this event and was possibly copyrighted). This information is NOT TRUE. The Blue Eyed Six were never related in any way to the church or it's cemetery. Although all these
things occured within this area more or less. They never were hung in the cemetery or buried there, nor is it believed they would have any reason to haunt this
place as they have no worldy connections. The Blue eyed six were all caught and tried in the Lebanon County Court House, hung in thecourtyard of the Lebanon County prison
except Josiah Hummel who died in Prison, and all were buried seperatly on their individual homesteads. Many in the area where brought up to believe the Moonshine Church and the
entire wooded area of Indiantown Gap was haunted by what is known as THE RED DEVIL! The submitter of the correction is also submitting a personal experience and will be
posted when we get a link.
Rumors of a few murders are spread. Strange noises like growling and people are heard, but nothing can be seen
Manorcare Health Services - the ghost of a small boy has been seen in the kitchen. the boy was about 8 or 9 years old, had brown hair and was
wearing modern clothing. Each time they encountered this boy he appeared whole to them, just like a normal human being. there wasn't anything else about the boy's appearance that was
odd or out of the ordinary. when workers encountered the boy, he would look directly at them then run from them and attempt to hide elsewhere in the kitchen. When
they would try to find the boy he was nowhere to be found. Because this activity only happened on the later shifts (2nd&3rd) it would have been all but impossible
for anyone, especially a child, to get into any of the buildings without being noticed.
it is said that the victims of the Gnaden Huetten Massacre can be seen day or night wandering around the tomb where they are buried and memorialized. There is an
old marker with a flat slab from 1755 that marks the occasion
Local residents say an apparition of a young woman can be found walking along the trestle in white, and then disappears halfway across it as if heading to Packerton.
If you cross over the chain blocking the old driveway, you will start to here footsteps all around the boarded up church. If you decide to venture into the grave
yard, don’t bother to close the old cast iron gate; an invisible force will shut it for you. Then when you turn to go back down the old driveway, you
will notice the chain you just crossed swinging like a jump-rope, even on the stillest of days.
Caves in the woods - There were two men shot to death and hidden in one cave a long time ago and they are supposed to haunt it, the `ther
one is on the other side of town and is said to be haunted by a boy who was hit by a car riding his bike and was hid in
there.
formerly listed as The Gables - The ghosts of two small children (a boy and a girl - allegedly siblings) who supposedly died in fire years ago also haunt the
entire building. These two playful spirits especially enjoy the company of the current owner’s youngest child. Observers have witnessed evidence of these two ghosts when the younger child throws a
ball and the ball stops in mid-air and return to her. These two spirits have shared their names with the owner’s youngest child and she will address them by name.
They will often bring "others" along with them when they come to play. If the owner’s children are not there, these two spirits seem to be unhappy and are more
likely to allow others to see them or evidence of them. The owner claims that these presences bring "charm" to his establishment and he welcomes everyone to come and take
the chance they might have a spooky encounter! If that fails, at least you’ll get a fabulous meal, as the food is top notch!
1st Floor - There are ghost in the kitchen that like to move furniture and other things around. There are several entities that take up residence in this facility. The
bottom floor houses a kitchen, bar, restaurant, and motel office. There is the ghost of a woman who haunts the downstairs, specifically the kitchen and seems to be most comfortable
in the walk-in cooler. Upon entering the cooler, she'll whisper, "Turn off the lights." She has also been known to disrupt items in the kitchen.
2nd Floor - Another continuous sighting involves an older black man who appears to be dressed in clothing from the late 1800s. He haunts the second floor and seems to
stay near the front stairway. He is often heard screaming at the current owner’s dog to "shut up" and is generally unpleasant most of the time. The owner’s reside on
the third floor and when they first moved in, were unaware of these presences and called the police on several occasions to someone wondering around in their building.
It is said that a man hung himself in the Engine room of the fire company and you can see him there and hear him gasping for breath before he

When the plant was being constructed in the late 70's and early 80's, one of the workers was killed when he fell over 100 feet down an open elevator shaft
in the unit 2 reactor part of the building. To this day there have been sightings of the ghost on the elevation from which he had fallen from as well
as many "cool" spots in a building which is anything but cool.
Apparitions, feelings of being watched, & strange voices have been heard.
Late at night all the workers on night shift would be going on about their business when chip bags would fly off the shelves and the sandwiches would make themselves.
My friend once got hit in the eye with a pickle during these frenzies. It flew so hard in the air it gave her black eyes for weeks. It is
said that it was built back in the 1800's, the owner of wawa was so depressed that there wasn't any business that he killed himself. He ran his arms threw
the meat slicers and then bled to death. Every now and then a costumer will find a finger in their lunch meat.
Reports of a phantom house, that disappears. From legend and research the place was a town in the 1800's. There was a witch living amongst the people and they burned
her alive, as she died she placed a curse of flood on the place and death on the people. On the anniversary of her death there was indeed a great
flood, burying the entire town and people in it alive. if you park your car near the gates at night, a train going across the only way out, blocking you
in for an hours worth of demon faces in your windows, howling screeching sounds, corpses trying to get at you, and the like. (Remember, in actuality the corpses are still
underwater in the town, never recovered). You can actually walk thru this place (beware, there are wild dog packs throughout) and good luck not getting lost. If the waters low
enough, you can see the tops of chimneys and houses during the day. Pay close attention to what you hear; sounds even in the daytime are unexplainable and for added
fun, try the cemetery off to the left for gravesites of those who died before the flood. Not recommended for ANY child, the place is dangerous. And don't drive thru
there, you will get fined at least $500.For more information check out the Westmoreland Historical Association, and look up Livermore. It's all there in black and white. And yes, the
"Livermore Cemetery" sign is the original that was used in the black and white version of Night of the Living Dead.
There is a rumor that in the 1800s a man was hung at this tree, he proclaimed that he was innocent and nobody believed him, so they hung him and
to this day people say that if you go to the tree at midnight that you can hear peoples laughing, crying ,and you can hear the man yelling. When you
go there people say that you should stay in your car, you hear noises and one time kids said that they heard and felt something jump onto their hood but
they didn't see anything. They said that their headlights went out somehow and they had trouble starting their car.

The Norwin Elks used to be the old Fletcher's place. He made jellies and such assortments as that. When it closed down is when all the hauntings were noticed. .
. There are 3 distinct hauntings. The first haunting is in the Old Fletcher Barn (Which became the Terror Barn). One of the groundskeepers apparently had nowhere to go when
Fletcher's was shutdown, so he thought he'd make a statement to the world by hanging himself in the barn facing the window on the second floor. Working there I noticed
the scariest things imaginable would happen. For one thing (and they had this on tape one night while we were making a commercial for the terror barn) the radio (which
was located at the other side of the barn in the "Michael Meyer's Room") was changing stations rapid ply and shutting off and turning on while we are all meeting
in the wizard room (on the other side of the barn, nowhere near Michael Meyers).The second thing, if you lay on the torture rack and look up you can see
a man who walks the rafters above. The other thing has to do withhe sound of cowboy boots following you as you walk around. The last thing is above all
the scariest, a piercing scream while we were closing one night. The second haunting of the Norwin Elks is located in the bar/dining area. Apparently in the attic there is
a specter who you cannot make out, but she/he is there and watches you. Some say that it is a little girl and others say it's a little boy. The
third haunting is in the basement of the Norwin Elks. If you walk down there you can hear a dog barking for hours on end, but the Norwin Elks don't
have any dogs. And sometimes you see a maintenance man down there who tells you that the pipes of the furnace need a cleaning, and when you ask them what's
wrong he vanishes. There are other reports of a man in the bar who never leaves and when you finally force him outside he vanishes after he leaves the door.
But no one can say for certain what happened to any of these ghosts. The only ghost that we know for sure is the Fletcher's Groundskeeper in the terror barn
who hung himself.
A man named Ed died here last year while playing EverQuest. You can see him sitting at the very same computer playing EverQuest every now and then. The cafe has

At the turn of the 20th Century, when the station was still fairly new, a small cat lingered in the rooms where its owner worked. It was somewhat of a
mascot for the station over the next couple of years. One day, it mysteriously disappeared. When the station was moved in August of 2000, workers found a preserved body of
a dead cat in the foundation. After the station was moved, members of the Mars Historical Society began experiencing strange happenings in the old structure. Cat sounds can be heard.
What is even more disturbing is that during the restoration work, members discovered paw prints of a cat in the sawdust of a newly cut board. Some members have even
reported seeing a small cat wondering around in the rooms. The members have nicknamed the ghost cat, "Chessie". It was named after the now retired Chessie System. It is said
that Chessie's spirit emerges out of the ground where the station used to be. It runs across the CSX tracks and enters the station where it now sits. Many believe
that Chessie searches unsuccessfully for it’s lovable master who is now long gone.

Brooks Hall - One of the rooms on the third floor in the all female dorm is supposedly haunted. First of all, Pennsylvania does not allow sorority houses on campus
because of an outdated law to do with houses of ill repute. So sorority sisters were housed in the all female dormitory, Brooks Hall. The Greeks on campus had a
ritual for pinning a girl that involved the pinner to walk down Main St. with his brothers behind him with torches. They would walk down Brooks Walk, a very long,
red-brick lane that led right to the front of Brooks Hall. The pinner would climb the building to the front terrace where the pinnee would be waiting with her sorority
sisters to be pinned. Well one such time the fraternity brother was climbing up the front of the building and fell to his death. The sister, terribly distraught, went to
her room and in a fit of hysteria jumped out of the window, killing herself. Her spirit supposedly haunts her old room and furniture has been moved around, pictures fall
from the walls, the window opens and the current tenants all are driven to request a housing reassignment.
The building is quite old and is a two building hotel. One building is the main building which contains the kitchen and lobby and lounge as well as two floors
of guest rooms. The other building is laundry and two floors of rooms as well as a floor of apartments. In the main building there have been instances of apparitions
in the kitchen and also on the second floor when walking down the hallway if you look in the big window at the end you can sometimes see someone behind
you and when you turn around no one is there, but when you turn back towards the window they are there again. Also, one particular instance was in the kitchen
were a radio was playing and when the security guard turned it off and walked away it came back on.....then he turned it off again and it came back on
when he turned it off again and heard the radio playing he went back but the radio was not on and it was playing music. Also, the other building contains
several spirits that have been seen and when you walk through the doors of the building you instantly sense a presence...you can often hear doors open and close, lights turn
on and off on their own, and footsteps behind you. Also, when you walk through the halls you can hear loud thumps on the door beside you and the room
will be vacant.

Hogback Road - Road is one of those roads that has winter snow removal on half, and none on the other. The latter is a winding stretch of half gravel
half pavement that's no fun to drive on no matter what time of year. Down in a gully on this "bad" stretch, there is an old wooden bridge that crosses
Hogback Run. It has been said that, years ago, a group of Satan worshippers sacrificed a young woman. To this day, numerous witnesses have heard screaming coming from the gully,
and their headlights have turned off when the car is parked on the bridge at night. Others have said to feel "cold" spells on warm nights. - October 2004 correction:

windows of the double doors that lead from the lounge to the bay you can see Sam's face in them. He will follow you around the bay (where the trucks
are kept). There was an instance where Sam knocked the old fire helmets off the wall while one of the firefighters was sleeping on the couch. Another current instance was
the papers tacked to the wall blew around as though someone was walking past at a fast pace. One experience was having the doorknob on the double doors (from lounge
to bay) jiggle and the witness was the only person in the entire firehouse at the time.
its said that if u walk around the brick wall that surrounds the graveyard 3 times you will get pushed off the third time around. you will hear weird noises.
and feel like you are not alone.

This county home was established in Media, Pennsylvania in 1807, where it remained until 1857. It then moved to its present location in Lima on the 210-acre Abraham Pennell Farm
on Middletown Road. The farm was called "Fair Acres", and as a county facility it retained this name. During the early years in Lima, the County facility often cared for
entire families as well as individuals in a self-contained environment. A part of this facility was the operation of a farm used for the production of food items for people
within the facility. The farming operation was discontinued in 1967 when the facility underwent a transition from a partially residential community to a health care facility and directed its emphasis
to elderly residents of Delaware County who required medical and nursing care. With this change, "farm" was dropped from the name, and in 1978 the institution became the Fair Acres
Geriatric Center. The Center now consists of eighteen buildings located on a 210-acre tract in Lima, Pennsylvania. Five of these are resident buildings, containing both skilled and intermediate care nursing
units with total accommodations for over 900 residents. One building in particular, Building 4, now has many separate offices and a main hallway shared by each office. This building was
originally a big, single room that held hundreds of hospital beds in rows in the late 1800's. An elderly woman with long gray, straight hair and wearing a hospital gown
has been seen walking in the hallways. She has been seen by about 5 different people in different years. This woman will disappear through doors and walls when spoken to
and does not speak. Strange knocks and doorknobs turning have been heard when no one is there.

formerly The Evergreen Hotel - This is a really old hotel, which went from hotel to a bar, to a strip joint. When it was a bar it was a
great place to go, but the stories of cupboard doors slamming, dishes being thrown out of the cupboards, cold spots upstairs, lights going on and off, have been going on
for years. Visitors have been locked in the bathroom and others have been locked in the basement. - June 2008 Update:the Hotel Evergreens burned down last week. It is thought

This building, in the Stripped District of Pittsburgh, was once site of the Chautauqua Lake Ice Co, which exploded due to fire on February 9, 1898. The building has since
been renovated and now houses the John Heinz History Center. Several staff members, including night security guards, have witnessed strange sights and sounds there. Most activity seems to center around
the 5th floor (used as storage/archives) and the loading dock area. Spirits have been known to occupy and interact with the exhibits there. The History Center is open to the
public 7 days a week from 10AM to 5PM (holidays excluded).
This isn't so much a report of a haunting as it is the clearing up of a false report. The report of the Steel Phantom ghost is completely inaccurate and
just not possible as the Steel Phantom was built in the early 1990's, whereas Kennywood was built in 1898. This makes the stories time line false. I have personally never
seen a news story involving any death with the building of the Steel Phantom.

Allegheny Center, Building #7 - It has a documented high turnover for students living there, which some say is due to a "bad vibe" the building gives off. It had
several incidents of strange phenomenon ranging from cold spots, knocking/rapping, poltergeist like activity, and even visual sightings. The energy's also seem to not be concentrated in just one place, and
move freely around the building. Wide majorities of people have reported experiences while living there. A student radio show around Halloween did a segment about the building, and it had
several call-ins about strange occurrences at "Agony #7" (a student nickname given to the building). Many skeptics blame the activity on student recreational drug use, pranks, and people blowing easily
explained occurrences out of proportion. But many skeptics have become believers.

to the ghost of a girl who committed suicide there. The details of the exact circumstances surrounding her death aren't very well known, as the involved sororities keep it as
hushed as possible. But the rumor of the motivation behind the suicide was the girl being rejected from the sororities and therefore taking her life.
People have heard chains rattle & have seen the locks on the lockers spin by themselves. The power often goes out for unknown reasons. Electric companies have come and have

it seems to be in a different place every time you look away and turn back.

This Theater was named after Emma Guffey Miller, who is believed to be the ghost that haunts the place. There is often strange banging or pounding noises heard and when
people go to see what the noise is, no one is there. The lights also flicker and go out during rehearsals. The students started the tradition of hiding "Baby" somewhere
on the stage during performances to keep Emma from sabotaging the show. Baby started out as a whole baby doll, but has degenerated to a charred mutilated head. It is
rumored that if Baby is not present, the show will be a disaster.

The Darr Mine was the site of a one of the worst Mining disasters in the United States, on Dec. 19, 1907, that killed 239 Miners. Male voices have been
heard at night and it sounds as if they are arguing although it's all gibberish (most of the dead were of eastern European origin, could they be bickering in Hungarian
or some other Slavic language that witnesses are not familiar with?). Photographs taken at the sight often have smoky images swirling about when developed. One witness unaware that this sight
was even haunted, had a an invisible entity breath the words "Oh God!" directly into his ear very loudly, while he was collecting firewood for a riverside campfire. This site
is located right alongside of the Youghigheny Bike Trail a few hundred yards south of the mining village of Van Meter.

There is a legend of a man who was walking one of the deserted roads in South Park and he was struck by lightening. He died and is said to
still walk the deserted country roads. This tunnel can be seen from the road and is no longer in use. Years ago, an electrician was working on the tunnel lights
when he became electrocuted and died. He now haunts the tunnel and surrounding area. It is said to have a green glow. - March 2008 Update/additional information: The disfigured face
guy was Ray Robinson, who is the true "Green Man", not some ghost. He lived near Koppel, Pennsylvania and died in 1985. Ray had his face melted off by a
ungrounded railroad bridge in 1917 (his skin turned light green in places after the accident). The ghost in South Park might glow green, but it should NOT be associated with
the true "Green Man".
This mental hospital was shut down due to patient abuse. The medical buildings are probably where most of the worst stuff happened there.

Back in the early years of the town, a railroad track used to sit where now a creek runs. The train one night hit the conductor’s house which sat next
to the tracks and destroyed everything, including the family. The house, which was rebuilt, burned to the ground, and the house across the street also burned years later. If walking
at night on this street, you may hear the train coming, or the sounds of the conductor’s family. The feeling of being watched walking past the creek has also been
noted.
In the cemetery there is a grave known to locals as "Cooney's Grave". It is an actual tombstone of a Priest in the early 20th century who was rumored to
have killed the woman who was impregnated by him. Weird things happen to the stone, especially during strong moonlit' nights. It is said that you can see a "glistening liquid"
on the stone (rumored to be blood) and other ghostly phenomenon.
"Person" seen standing outside of shower in "Summer Kitchen" cottage. Painting of woman in cottage was glaring and frowning at beginning of visit, and when visitors (friends of mine) left
a day early, she appeared to then be smirking. At one point, one of the visitors couldn't get the door to the Summer Kitchen open to get out, and just
as she was about to give up, it clicked and opened. They constantly felt as though the walls were closing in, and did not realize that both of them were
experiencing the same things until they talked in the car on their way out of there. General overall "creepy, claustrophobic" feeling about the place.
While alone you will here the baby cry, or while upstairs on 2nd floor you'll here the creaking and sounds of the ghost that hung herself years ago.
every once in a while you can see the ghost of a sick old hunch backed man walk through the hallways of this. He is even seen some times walking
down the street

well-known stop along the railroad route.
Central Pattee Library - Odd feelings of a presence and being watched felt by students on top floor of central Pattee (Murder of librarian years ago?) - January 2004
update/ correction - the #1 ranked haunted place at Penn State, Pattee Library was the site of a murder in 1969. A girl named Betsy (a student employee) was found
dead on the first basement level. As spooky as that is, though, most of the ghostly events that happen in the Library aren't related to her at all. Workers and
Students report that there have been strange screams echoing up from the basement levels, transparent girls thumbing through books, disembodied glowing red eyes, book carts being moved without anyone present,
and all sorts of other phenomena.
Keller Dorm - This dorm was the site of a student's suicide years ago. He hanged himself in a stairwell. Perhaps related to that, and perhaps not, there are a
couple of rooms (rumors are that they're near his old room, but then again others say that's not so) that have had some freaky things happen. In the early 1990s,
this acted up the most. A student was repeatedly locked out of this room, and one night ran out screaming because the bed was occupied by someone who wasn't there.
When he came back with the Residential Assistant, the door was locked and they both heard the whole room being trashed by poltergeist activity.
Schwab Auditorium - is supposedly haunted by a few separate ghosts. One of them may be Charles Schwab. The other may be President Atherton who was president of the school
and is buried beside the building. There has also been a soldier seen. An article about this was written in the last alumni newsletter. - January 2004 update/ correction -
The second most famous haunted place on campus, Schwab Auditorium is supposedly haunted by the ghost of President Atherton, the first president of the university. His grave is right behind
the building, with a memorial and a bench where his widow is supposed to have sat for days on end after his death. When plays and other performances are held,

There are reports of ghostly happenings in the stock rooms of this former Zody's. It is believed that a double murder/suicide took place somewhere in the upstairs stockroom. Apparently, a
couple worked together for Zody's and the boyfriend caught his girlfriend in a compromising situation with another male employee. The enraged boyfriend located a box cutter and slashed the two
to death. He then slashed his own wrists and carotid artery. After several reports from employees of unusual activity, Kmart headquarters in Michigan has admitted to hiring paranormal/paraphysical investigators to
conduct investigations into the incident. The conclusion was that indeed the building was occupied by several spirits. The investigators concluded that four different spirits dwell throughout the building. The fourth
has not been linked to any known incident that may have occurred and thus is unknown for its presence. Kmart has remained quiet on the findings of this investigation and
resources revealed that employees of this store are not advised of this activity. Prior to changing over to Kmart, Zody's employees reported seeing a man walking about in the stockroom.
A woman is also seen running and sometimes screams are heard. In one case, an overnight employee sustained a 7 inch laceration while working in the stockroom. Zody's management insisted
that the incident was just an accident caused by falling boxes that were stacked too high, but resources close to the victim tell another tale. A paring knife mysteriously came
across the room and cut the employee across the chest. No one was seen in the area. The victim survived his wounds, but obviously resigned from the company. Sightings and
sounds have been reported throughout the years, but no one else has been physically attacked since.

the old camp is private property now, the other part is a regular recreational park.March 2008 Update – up until the 1870s muskets did not use brass shells, but paper

Kunkle Mansion - There is a deserted house on the outskirts of Lewisberry/Goldsboro. It cannot be seen from the road, but is off Pine Road near the old bridge. It

as "The Seven Gates of Hell." No one has ever been through the fifth gate. Everyone who makes it to the gates hears noises and sees weird things moving in
the woods. - November 2005 Update: It was so popular among local teenagers that just recently, the old hospital and the gates were torn down. One gate stands, the first

trees back there to stop people from coming to experience the "freakiness".March 2008 Update – A resident reports investigating the site extensively states this submission is totally false, there was
never an insane asylum there, the metal gate is there, but it belonged to a mansion or house. The insane asylum was NOT recently torn down as it was never
there.

The back elevator at Pope John is certainly very creepy. The fifth floor, which is a small convent, is off limits to students and I have only been up there
once in my three years here. While no nun's have been murdered up there several have died. If you get on the back elevator by your self, it will some
times take you up to the fifth floor and the doors will open, staying like that for a short time. However, if you pray while this is happening, it will
stop and take you to your destination. The elevator also tends to open by itself on every floor when no one is in it or has pressed the buttton. This
is a well known story in this school and most people avoid that elevator at all costs.
Various "cold spots" and poltergeist activity have been reported in the "Main building" which was built in the 1800's by Fairhaven town benefactor Henry Huttleston Rogers. Fairhaven High School is
located on Huttleston Ave.
The founder of Fairhaven, Henry Huttleston Rogers, had a daughter named Millicent. She died when she was barely seventeen of heart failure. Rumor has it that he had her buried
under the foundation before the foundation was finished. People who visit the library sometimes see her walking the halls, outlined in bright blue light. At night, passersby both on foot
and in cars have reported seeing the girl standing in the window of the turret in front. On the upper floors, many have seen a woman dressed all in black
wandering along, running her fingers along the books. No one knows who this ghostly woman could be. She often disappears too fast for anyone to get a good look.
Basement & Vaults - The hat of Heddy Green (a stingy old woman and mother to Colonel Green) lies within the vaults of the basement and some claim to have
seen her after touching the hat. Some librarians will talk freely about the hauntings and offer information but most deny any and all accusations of paranormal activity. It’s a great
place to visit. Don't bother taking pictures. They usually won't develop correctly.
China Room - The "China Room" boasts several paintings of Henry Rogers, his mother, his grandmother and other such relatives. Children have often said that if you speak to them,
they change expressions (the emotions depend on the content). And the room is always dreadfully cold.
Music Room - Witnesses have claimed to hear Millicent laughter coming from what was once knawn as the "Music Room." Staff and patrons have also seen a man dressed in
a tweed jacket and purple bowtie with small circular glasses mopping the floor in the basement. One librarian claimed he is the ghost of a janitor who suffered a spill
and broke his neck on the wet floors he still mops relentlessly. The doors open and close by themselves and the bathroom lights will shut off seconds after being turned
on by a visitor. Footsteps can be heard on the stairwell leading to the basement.
formerly listed as Fairhaven Nursing Home - It is said that a women who was staying in this nurisng home one day ran out of the buildng and got struck
by a car and died. She loved classical music but the nursing home usually played rock. When you pass by this nursing home in your car have ( which is
still in use today) have the rock station 102.9 on and it will automatically change to a classical station when you are in fromt of the building and when you
pass it it changes back to rock music.

A young woman who's last name was Lowerey was on her way to a wedding possibly her own. Riding in a horse drawn carriage near the way stop of Scott's
Corners, (between Pleasanton and Sunol, CA. Area is now Highway 84/680) she was thrown from the carriage when the horses were spooked by the first of two oncoming horseless carriages
(car). After she was thrown the 2nd car struck her. Miss Lowerey became the first person to ever be killed by an automobile in this area. Many have seen a
woman in white by the cemetery and near by areas, accompanied with strange lights. - November update: A paranormal researcher found there's quite an extensive collection of newspaper clippings that
was donated to the library by a journalist. The clippings go back to the turn of the 20th century, so they cover the period when the "accident" happened. According to
the first journalist to report on the supposed haunting, about ten years after the date in the 1920's when the woman was popularly held to have died, there was no
mention of anyone dying in an accident in the canyon, and county records of the time listed no account of the body of anyone who had supposedly died in Niles
Canyon. There was, in the early 50's, a young man who dressed in a white sheet and jumped out in front of motorists near one of the bridges on Halloween.
He scared someone so bad that they immediately drove to the nearest phone and called the police, who arrived in force (owing to the legend of the white witch) and
drew guns on what they thought was the ghost. The young man was almost shot, though he was not arrested, but he had to be taken to a coffee shop
where it took him until 2am to calm down sufficiently to go home. The supposed "white witch of Niles" actually follows the scenario of a common fake ghost story, that
being the "hitchhiking ghost" story. The Niles ghost is most commonly said to hitchhike to one of the bridges in the area, where she disappears at the tollbooth. There is
no cemetery that they know of in Sunol, which is at the top of Niles Canyon Rd. Similarly; there is no Morrison Canyon ghost. Morrison Canyon road is a primarily
one-lane road that leads up to the 680 freeway. There's even a radar-testing facility up there somewhere, complete with life-size wire models of helicopters and planes, mostly upside down. Now,
on the OTHER side of the coin, there ARE photographs of orbs in Mission San Jose's church and in the graveyard, though the investigator does not own them. The church,
the cemetery and the grounds are VERY active.
Weird noises from the back of the bowling alley at night, if you watch the pins in the back of the all you can see something moving behind them, usually

become freezing. Documented case of an employee's girlfriend walking to the back to shut off the lights after hours and coming back to the front desk with grease and oil
"finger" streaks rubbed into her face.
A great deal of strange occurrences happen at St. Stevens. There is a gravestone with the last name Dousette by the big iron cross that used to glow green. Scientists
came into the graveyard to figure out why it glowed green, and could come up with any answer. They eventually turned the stone a little out of place and the
stone turned red for several days, then stopped glowing. If you take the name apart, Dousette, you can make "do you see it." If you drive into St. Stephens graveyard,
the first thing that you will see is a big iron cross (that looks creepy). Take a left and drive back towards the woods on a dark night. When you
go over the small hill and are facing the woods, flash your lights twice. A strange man will sometimes come out and tell you how to find spirits. There is
a strong presence there, and many things have been seen there, such as a glowing orb that followed a visitor’s car out.

house, but a building that resembles a small church. Every night there is a candle lit in the upstairs window of the church. They would drive around the block and

home of a female spirit. There is a storage room above the lower dining area and entrance. The room is constantly locked and hardly used. But for some reason the
spirits prefer this location when the restaurant gets busy. There are three windows up there, and although they can't be opened, people feel drawn to gaze at these windows. Also

voices. Like many other locations of hauntings, objects moving and power surges have been reported as well. The submitter of this haunted places reports seeing a face of a male

foot cliffs and look out over into the pacific ocean to see if their country was secure and then they would return to their graves. Not to many young marines

composers, he channeled some negative energy into the house. Beautiful stained glass portraying pictures of famous composer, writers, and artists. In some of these, hair seems to be turning gray

Located on Sacramento St. in Chinatown, San Francisco. Once owned by Lady Cameron, the basement of the house was a refuge for Chinese immigrant from lives of prostitution and slavery,
among the obvious discrimination and hell that was once Chinatown. She sealed the doors in the basement to protect the immigrants from inspections by the police. If she can't open
the doors, they can't inspect and then arrest and possibly kill the rooms of people. However, the people were able to come in and out through a secret passageway. Apparently,
rumors spread about her philanthropy and some people came and burned down the house. Everyone in the rooms died. Now, the restored Cameron House (turned church) sends chills up spines.

the ceiling run to the end of the hall forming an "X" over a door with the script: "do not enter." Photographs taken in the house have shown white figures
in the background. Supposedly, these photos are nonchalantly mingled in with normal ones and kept in photo albums at the site. This possibly happened around the 1930's or so. It
might be the late 1800's or the early 1900s. Most likely early 1900's.

The San Gabriel Civic Auditorium s past is very long and there are many stories of hauntings. Back was being built underground tunnels were built under the length of the
building. They were built so that the owner (nicknamed Uncle John) could go from backstage to the foyer. When Uncle John died the tunnels went unused for years and when
the depression came those tunnels were used as catacombs to house dead bodies. Once they were filled the catacombs were sealed. In the men s restroom in the front there
is a door. When you open that door there is just a brick wall. When a crew tried to breach the wall they got five feet and there was still
brick. Why would some one seal a tunnel in more than five feet of brick? No one will ever know unless the try to breach it again. Now to the
stories. There is a drop that was preserved because it was the only remaining drop from the original stage. Some times during the Temple City High School musical that drop
swings unintentionally. There is no wind and no one ever touched that drop. A psychic was brought in and they said they saw a man swing on the drop. Another
story is that there are TV monitors on stage left that broadcast what is being shown on stage. In 2003 and there during the Music Man there was a person
seen in the second story window on one of the houses. Many stage crew, tech crew, and actors saw this man on the TV monitor. Also many of the audience
saw this man too. The problem with this is that there is no way for a man to be standing in the second story window because there is no ledge
or anything for him to stand on. The man was later recognized as Uncle John. There are also stories of a little girl who roams the halls and a old
stage manager who roams the halls at night.

what the history of the land is or anything...though there is a basic story that does float around. So far our George has three figures...The first being there was the
business like man figure that was standing up against the wall. The second time George appeared, it was to the actors - [techs never saw him that night] however actors
kept complaining about a little boy running around backstage trying to catch his toy ball. The last sighting that has happened was about a year ago witnessed by 2 people
who where alone in the building. It was of a very large man and he sat down and filled up the aisle of the house ...which is about 2 and
1/2 to 3 feet wide. A week later after seeing this one of the witnesses was in the lighting booth. and reports, ”My friend and I were coming down the
stairs of the lighting booth to go talk to our teacher, who was at the other end of the building...no where near the stage or house [where the audience sits],
as we got half way down the whole booth started shaking violently. Us thinking it was an earthquake ran and got the heck out of there. We went to our
teachers office, which is located in the same building, and asked her if she felt an earthquake or anything. She looked at us and said, "No, what are you talking
about?" Since then...George has managed to become more violent here and there...he never harms anyone...however he still continues to play his usual tricks.”

man sitting in a chair near her if there was anyone else in the room. The man told her that everyone was in the kitchen. She then felt a pair
of female hands grab her roughly and hold her down to the couch. She yelled out to the guy sitting in the chair, asking if there was anyone else in
the room. He went to the kitchen and saw that no one was there and told her that they were the only two people there. As soon as he told
her that, the hands let go. When the woman arrived for work the next day, she told her coworkers the story. She said that she had seen he r friend
out of the corner of her eye, and that the friend was wearing the exact same clothes that she saw him wearing earlier that day. The other person who was
with her at the time said that he had been sitting in the chair the whole time, and had seen nothing out of the ordinary. He also said that he
had seen the woman’s friend walk into the kitchen. The Poet's Loft is located at 514B Central Avenue in Hot Springs, in the famous Bathhouse Row district.

of the stairs, the lights went off again. A bit frightened, they went back upstairs, and still no one was there. This went on a couple more times before the

from the band room to the gym. It was locked. Nothing could get in, unless it was something hard to explain. They ran back to the band room. At first,
the trio was skeptical, because it was the day before the band Halloween party and they thought that it was a prank. They went back to their instruments. Then again,
they heard the screaming. Except, it sounding like someone was yelling for someone or something to quit. The three ran from the band room, leaving the instruments behind. From that
day you can still hear the yelling if you are there quite early in the morning, standing in the Nettleton High Band Room. - One night after a band party,
a group of band members decided to run around in the gym. It was pretty late, and almost everyone had gone home. The group had split-up and decided to go
up to the cheerleading room. There they found that the room was extremely cold, and for some odd reason they couldn't find the light switch. After leaving the cheerleading room,
they heard screams and ran down the stairs where the screams came from. Now these weren't any ordinary screams. They were the kind of screams that you would only hear
if someone was being stabbed or hurt. There was no explanation for the screams, because no one else was there at the time. The whole group got to the bottom
of the stairs to find leaves falling from the ceiling of the gym, as if it were a tree. One of the girls in the group saw the shadow of
what looked like a football player. They all tho ught that this was a joke, until they heard a door slam and then saw another door swinging.

chanting, or footsteps if you sit in car with the lights off right next to those two buildings. Also just up the road from old OIT there is a hill,
or at least what appears to be one. It’s a small vortex. One of the urban legends is that an old Indian was hung from a tree on that hill
right next to the road. If you park under the tree, he will push you up the hill. But there are so many of those stories in various states that
it is doubtful. - April 2007 Update - It's fenced in. There are a series of large poles, possibly 30 feet high, with three giant tires hanging from them. No

be bloodstains on the side of it. On the other side of the place, there is a building in shambles, and this is what makes the place truly scary. Loud
bangs are also reported.

that at night you can see hikers trying to get a ride. When you look back they are gone. Another freaky thing is that there are many cars that have
been on the side for who knows how long. They appeared to have been broken down there for a while. And if you stop by the crosses there is a
spine tingling feeling that makes you want to scream.

In Coloma, CA, there is a famous Victorian house called the Vineyard House, which has been reputed to be haunted by its original owners for many years. The house was
built some time in the late 1800s, and was used over the years as a jail, an inn and restaurant, and, as its name implies, a winery. It was also
at one time supposedly the site of where some executions took place. According to records, the original owners who built the house suffered one tragedy after another. Several of their
young children died, their winery was eventually ruined because of a blight, and the husband contracted syphilis, which over time caused blindness and mental illness. Because he became violent from
being mentally ill, his wife had him chained to a wall in the basement of the house, where he reportedly died. The entire family is buried directly across the street
in a graveyard that overlooks the house. Reports of seeing ghosts in the graveyard have also come forth in the past, but most of the stories took place inside the
house. Ghost stories of the encounters where told by employees and guests of Vineyard House. One intriguing story was told by a couple who were staying in one of the
upstairs bedrooms. It was late at night and all was quiet, when suddenly the couple was awakened by the sound of drunken men coming into the hallway downstairs. They were
very loud and were singing and laughing and making a general raucous, so the husband upstairs stuck his head out the bedroom door to tell the loud men to quiet
down. But upon doing so, he saw three men dressed in Victorian clothing ascending the stairs, and then they faded right before his eyes. Another story from a different couple
who decided to stay at the inn was that something frightened them so badly that they packed up and left in the middle of the night. They reportedly refused to
say what had happened that scared them so badly. The basement was used as a bar, and it was late at night after closing hours. The owner was cleaning up
and wiping down he bar. He said that there was one last glass at the far end of the bar, and as he was cleaning, the glass suddenly began to
shake, and then it slid all the way across until it finally stopped right in front of him. He admitted that he had no rational explanation for what he'd seen.
It is believed that the things that go on in the bar are the original owner who died down there while chained to a wall. Other things that have been
reported are sounds of rustling skirts, and there is apparently an area near the kitchen that is constantly cold. A woman having dinner in the restaurant claimed that she was
approached by a young child who asked her to mash his peas and carrots for him. Another scary incident occurred in the restaurant when a large chandelier suddenly came crashing
down, barely missing some of the guests. It used to be that when the restaurant and inn were still in operation, you could pick up a pamphlet that gave information
about the hauntings. It was a famous place because it had been there since the Gold Rush, and there were pictures of famous people, such as John Wayne and Dudley
Moore, hanging on the walls. The hauntings were so well-known that the house was featured on That's Incredible! and Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Sadly, the house has been closed
to the public for quite a few years. If you are ever visiting old Coloma, the site of the famous Gold Rush, be sure to drive by the old Vineyard
House, and know that you are seeing a house that has been famous for its hauntings for many years.

February 2004 Update: formerly listed as El Cerrito - Live Oak Inn - As the story goes, back in 1988, a young waitress named Michelle was strangled to death and
left in the trunk of an old car behind the back patio of the inn. Rumor has it that although the dishwasher is still doing time for her murder, it
was actually the cook that committed the crime. Regardless of who killed Michelle and why, she still haunts Live Oak. The new owner doesn't mind and comments that, "People say
she is a really nice girl and even shy." He has never seen her, but has had many complaints from customers that she continually flushes toilets close to closing time.
Perhaps even more spine tingling than Michelle's story is the fact that in the Inn's earlier days, people were often hung from the twisted oak tree in front. If you
look closely, you can see the tree growing arou nd an old noose!!!- February 2004 additional info – a bartender / waitress reports she is a witness to the rumors
of Michelle the ghost, and of the old owner "Larry" who shot himself in the office. She has worked there for almost a year and Michelle has stopped flushing the
toilet and started ringing the food bell constantly during all hours. She has seen shadows of her out of the corner of her eye when she is there alone. one
of the cooks son's talks to the ghost but it is supposed to be a secret and he can't tell us who he is talking to. he also sees a
man in black who walks around. the noose is visible in the tree and she says she has touched it to see what it was made of. it was almost
rope like wire and it is grown into the tree.

that strange things were occurring at our store. Servers reported trays flying at their heads in the dishwasher's area and salt and peppershakers once empty were full. The spookiest always
happened to the vendors who cleaned the restaurant. The carpets would be cleaned on a monthly basis and they would always come in pairs. Something would always happen, strange sounds,
floating balloons, TV's being turned on, etc. All of these things could be explained by scientific methods: electric currents and helium filled balloons losing air. Whatever was going on in
that building after the emplo yees left was bad enough that the carpet cleaners would never come alone. On the occasions that they would come alone, they would come right
at closing and be done before we would finish closing the store. On one occasion a lone carpet cleaner decided he would do it by himself after the employees left
the building, saying that all the stories were hogwash. The next morning the opening manager found him in his truck in the parking lot with all of his carpet cleaning
materials left inside of the building. He refused to step foot into the restaurant and complete the job. He wanted to get his equipment and get out. Seems while he
was in the building the entities played with him more than they played with any one else. As he was shampooing the carpets things were being written by a nonexistent
finger in the soap, chairs were moved in the dining room and salt and peppershakers flew at him. The carpet guys from then on always came promptly at closing and
no one was left alone in th e building.

theater was attached to the mall until 1996 The Broadway Department Store was known by employees to be very haunted. On the third floor, stock workers were frightened by music
coming from a locked and empty stockroom, and the area of the freight elevator was quite simply a terrifying place for me to work in. Workers had feelings of panic
and chills. On the second floor, employees heard their names called by someone unseen (this was a very common occurrence, experienced even by non-believers), clothing would swing on racks as
though someone were walking between the racks, cool breezes and the sound of breathing were felt and heard in the stockrooms of the Children 's Department, and several times before
the store opened employees heard the sounds of someone straightening the racks in the Lingerie department, and see two legs wearing black pants standing behind a tall fixture (on which
were hung bathrobes, etc.), but the sounds and legs disappeared when they went to see who was working. All of this occurred both before, during, and after store hours. Also,
in the second floor freight area, they would see people passing the door of the room in which they were working, but no one was present when they checked the
hallway. This, too, was a common activity. The first floor had similar activities, but employees working after hours in the freight dock would see what we thought were customers passing
the windows of the dock doors, but when investigated, the store was empty. One dock guy quit after he experienced this a couple of times. The store was closed and
torn down in 1996, and the theater was built. Reportedly only one person ever died on the store property: a manager had a heart attack while at work, and died
while they were loading her into the ambulance. A child was severely injured once while playing on the escalator from the second to the first floor, and his blood stains
had soaked into the tile at the foot of the escalator and remained until the store was destroyed.

Westminster Ave. Apartment Bldg. - Charlie Chaplin used to own several of the large buildings that sit near or along the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk in Los Angeles. In the
day, these buildings were commonly used as bath houses or lodging for wealthy vacationers. Today, these buildings have been converted to apartment buildings for the local artists, musicians, and other
creative types that now inhabit Venice Beach. Incidentally these buildings cradle around the famous Building Number 26 on Westminster Ave. It has been documented in print as well as Chaplin's
films that during the early 1900's he did much of his filming in and around these properties on Westminster Avenue. In 1915, during the filming of "By the Sea" Chaplin's
stunt double mysteriously disappeared from the film set. Production was put on hold for three days and a full on man-hunt was instated. After tur ning up empty-handed, it was
assumed that the long time friend of Chaplin's must have quit and left on his on recognizance. The studios that were financially backing the film, were losing money. Under haste,
Chaplin was forced to replace his stunt double and continue production of the film. On the seventh day after the disappearance, Chaplin returned to his dressing room after a day
of shooting. His dressing room was located in the basement of the now famous Building number 26 on Westminster. It is documented that Chaplin, while accompanied by an entourage, entered
the room to discover his stunt double and long time friend lying dead on the floor, wet and covered in seaweed. The man appeared to have been deceased for several
days. How he had ended up on the floor of Chaplin's dressing room after missing for almost an entire week, is still to this day a complete mystery. The "now"
inhabitants of the famous building claim to still hear strange noises emanating from th e walls of somebody walking through shallow water. Other noises include moaning, and sounds of someone
distantly crying for help. In addition to the assortment of disturbing sounds, there have been several sightings of what appears to be an apparition of a man bound by the
hands and feet standing in luminous corners of the large building. Quite possibly the most blood curdling detail of all these sightings is what the man is seen wearing. He's
dressed the same way he was the day he disappeared. A Chaplin-esque tuxedo coat with tails and the proverbial black derby hat.

move at all, but yet there is a feeling of moving.

Outside of Bartlesville, near the infamous "haunted hill" and Circle Mountain there is an old abandon cemetery off County Road 2700. The cemetery sits in an open field/space next to
a small, abandon lawn and landscape business. It's hard to spot the cemetery driving past because it sits off into the edge of the woods and is so overgrown that
it takes a good eye to see it though the forest. Electrical problems have been reported with digital cameras
a 19th Century Victorian mansion, in the woods, far far outside of town, perched atop of a huge hill over looking the country side for miles. This house was the
scene of 4 deaths in the early 20th century. Since then the house has burned 2 times, now only the rock walls and foundation remain to stand watch over the
miles of lonely woods. If you make it through the mile of lush vegetation, to the top of the hill, you will generally be treated by your flashlights not working,
strange, invisible people shouting your name, odd smells, strange animals running through the dark, only a few meters in front of you. But probably the most scary part of the
whole ordeal, is when what's left of the fireplace starts to blaze on it's own as you leave.
Late at night you can hear footsteps on the stage that sounds like a four-legged animal and you can feel cold spots throughout. If you stay late enough you can

was found to have been an old morgue back in the day when they had horse drawn carriages, it was a building in which had a basement and large pulling
elevator large enough for the horses, later filled in and the gym was built on top of it. A picture of the old morgue proved to me that the apparition
was that of the caretaker

Rumor goes that an old farmhouse southeast of Blackwell was where the family Hollopeter used to live. There used to be an old iron bridge there with the wooden floor

the rope hanging there for a long time after the suicide. (the bridge is right next to the farmhouse) It is also said that if you drive be the house
at night, and you look up into the top of the barn, you'll see the grandmother sitting in her rocking chair feeding the chickens on the ground. Also, Mr. Hollopeter
is said to have appeared on his white horse down in the bottom of the river, which is very shallow, when you honk your horn and flash your lights while
sitting on the bridge. This area floods very badly, so the old bridge is no longer there, it was finally washed away about 3 yrs or so ago.
You walk in and you come to the second section of the cemetery and there will be three trees int he middle of the second section go to the left

its a legend there up that some girl had died in the gym. But no one seems to know the girls name or anything. The story goes that it was
during a game that she hit the wall and died. The basketball goals on each side are hanging off the brick walls of the gym. Many of us hit the
walls trying to save the ball or getting pushed but they had big pads up on them at that time. And as the story goes, that is why they put
the pads up, because of that girl. As for the school itself, there is the original brick building that was the whole school way back in the early 1900's then
they built on to it. Then added the grade school building and the kindergarten. Witnesses have heard footsteps, lockers slamming and voices. In the gym, they have heard a

Coalgate was once a boomtown for foreigners who came to work in the coalmines back at the turn of the century. When the mines gave way and became strip pits---some

mobsters. Remains have been found and traced back to east coast mob activities throughout the years in some of these remote (and deep) strip pits. Several cars from New York,
New Jersey and Illinois along with some remains, unidentified, of course, have been brought up out of the watery graves!

the hallway, a little boy who appears in the master bathroom, and a young woman with a baby. The man stops about halfway through the hallway and looks into the
master bedroom, then continues until he approaches the kitchen and stops and turns around toward the hallway again, where he disappears. The baby shrieks from the living room. The young
woman carries her baby and speaks to it. Once, the door to one of the back bedrooms slammed shut and a woman's voice was heard arguing loudly with someone else.
The door was then unable to opened for a few minutes.. The young woman will also tell the tenants to go back to bed when she sees them wandering the
house at night. The little boy will appear in the master bathroom in front of the door when it is closed and he will stare at the occupier of the
bathroom. When addressed, he disappears. Voices can be heard through the night on a regular basis and occasionally the man will dash through the hallway, bumping into things that aren't
there.
This place is called "The 1896" by the locals. The building was built in 1896. There is an apartment above the bar and restaurant that has a history of 1
suicide, 1 murder/suicide and 1 death by disease. One or more of the spirits there has a fixation with dimes. You put a dime somewhere and the next day it
is on the bar. One threw bottle caps at the bartender one night. One night "the lady" threw pans off the shelves. When we went back there it was a

was put there by a group of kids who stole it off private property, stripped it, then pushed it over the bridge into a creek. Odly enough, there was a
small pond nearby that used to feed off the creek,and the pond was locally known as "crybaby lake". The story behind that onis at one time, a couple where in

crying. They were torn down due to housing developments about 8 years ago. The creek is still there, it serves as drainage for that part of town.

of old toys, one of old clothes, one ceiling tiles, one wood, one glass, and several more that you can't see anymore because they have all been burnt to ash.

has it the witch died in a fire and her soul still burns anything that is near her property with a vengeance. Even the few scattered houses out there have
scorch marks on the roofs. Driving out there, cars tend to not start, headlights often go off, and there is an incredibly eerie feeling surrounding the whole area as if

and then someone pushed her and she fell down the stairs and scraped up her back really bad.

the window waiting for her husband to return from war there has been times that 40's style swing music has been heard over the jukebox and no disc is playing
and she has been seen moving around the building in a night gown and sometimes she will move dishes. - March 2007 Correction: The facts about the Pizza Hut are
not accurate. It was the home of a TheShadowlands.net/ghosts visitor’s mother-in-law. She states the woman and her husband divorced and he moved to California. If it is her ghost, she
would be waiting for her sons to come home, not a husband. The house was not vacant for any great length of time; at the most about a year. The
visitor states she spent quite a few week ends in the house; was never afraid. One night something patted her and she thought it was her husband, however it was
not. She and her husband figured it could have been the ghost of his younger brother who had died in the house. From what she had been told, he was
a great kid and worried about the wildness of his older brother. He was only fifteen when cancer ended his life. Her husband's grand mother lived in the house prior
to her death and she did like to re-arrange things. However, since this family loved the Lord, our visitor thinks no one at the Pizza Hut has anything to fear.

the old hospital - There is a presence that inhabits the 4th floor (which used to be where the operating room was). The elevator continuously travels to the 4th floor
although no offices are located there. It goes from the 1st floor (the old morgue) to the 4th floor, although another floor has been selected. Noises have also been heard
on the 3rd floor when no one is around.
A ghost is said to haunt Howard Auditorium. The seats in the auditorium are spring loaded and pop back up when you get out of them. However, if you go
in there alone, one seat will always be down. If you go and push the seat up, later the same seat or another one in the auditorium can be found
down, as if someone were sitting in it.

Bell tower which was once part of a church, now stands alone in a pasture off the side of US Hwy 71. Legend has it a bride was waiting for
her soon-to-be husband who died in a car accident on his way to their wedding. Many stories exist about the way the woman actually died. Some say she fell down
the stairs to her death because she was upset, but still others say she hung herself in a fit of depression. People claim at midnight the bell tolls and a
woman's screams can be heard.
This hospital has two known spirits lurking around its premises. One is affectionately known as Reggie. The story goes that while construction of the hospital was going on nearly 20
years ago, an elevator maintenance person fell to his death. Reggie's antics included opening and closing elevator doors and taking people to the fifth floor, which normally requires the use
of a key. One time Reggie manifested himself to a maintenance man and a visitor even saw him inside the elevator. The second ghost appears as a black shadow and
has been seen in the surgery room. Its origin is unknown.
A Ghost of unknown Origin locks the waitresses in the bathroom. Throws coffee at people 5 feet away. Makes Dishes fly off the tables. Makes it very cold when the
AC is on 90 degrees.
Here are some of the accounts recorded by the Earth's Society of the Paranormal: A voice of a male, roughly 13 or 14-years-old, telling people from a stall in a
boys' restroom to "Get Out." When investigated, no one could have said this. One person, when late on the bus, heard behind him someone call his name. He looked behind
him and saw that no one behind him was calling his name. Earlier that day, he saw someone from behind outside disappear. A person saw someone going into the bathroom
mentioned above, but right when the person got out, the someone was outside. There was no chance of backtracking or using the back door (it was locked). On a dark
January day in 2005, a person went into the same bathroom and saw a blob-like shadow went across the floor. The person did not look up and washed his hands
and got out of there. The only window was too far away and was at a poor angle for it to have come from the outside and it was dark
and overcast at the time, besides it happening roughly 1:00 pm.

The name of a man that killed a little boy, was written on the tombstone of the child, in child like writing. December 2003 Update: The carving on the back
of the headstone has the names of the driver that hit the boy as well as the people who drove past him while he laid on the side of the
road dieing. The story says that the inscription on the bottom of the face of the headstone, "MAY THE WORK I HAVE DONE SPEAK FOR ME", is in reference to
the map on the back and was not original to the stone. On the back of the stone under the map is also an inscription that reads, "BY DOGS MIND".

There have been strange occurrences since including flickering lights, moved objects, scratching, electronic difficulties including appliances working while turned off and walls shaking. There are no records to be found
of any suicide at the University since its beginning in 1948. There are other alleged incidences which might come from the fact that the University is built on the same
grounds as a Civil War Hospital and the area where the Confederates retreated after the Lafourche Crossing Battle.

The community of Indian Meadows and its sister community Shady Grove, are both built over an ancient Cherokee Indian burial ground. The two have had several hauntings reported over the
last two decades. At night, dark figures have been seen scurrying about in the woods on the outskirts of the neighborhoods. Some brave souls who dare walk the streets at
night say they can feel or even hear someone following them, but turn around to find that no one is there. People have reported hearing scratching noises outside their houses
late at night. One man heard scratching sounds on his front porch late at night, and each time he turned on the porch light to investigate, nothing was there. But
the next morning he found claw marks down the banister of the porch. Some see the shadows of people (possibly the spirits of the restless Indians) rushing past their windows
at night, but investig ate to find no one outside. In several homes, people have reported hearing footsteps late at night in hallways or on stairs, doors slamming shut by
themselves, voices calling out their names, electrical equipment going on and off by itself, and even the sound of someone or something running through the house. In one house, the
face of a crying man appeared on several of the doors in the house all at once. Try walking the streets of Indian Meadows or Shady Grove at night and
you just might have your own creepy experience.

On any night, you will hear mumbles and objects like rocks and pebbles. Wait for a minute and you'll see dark shadows.
It’s believed to be haunted by one of the first owners. He died while plowing his garden with a tractor. It overturned on him and killed him. Soon afterwards, the
man's wife started hearing banging noises, so she moved and sold the house. The next owners heard the same noises, and left the house in the middle of the night
with all of their belongings still inside. When the house was empty, neighbors would see lights turn on at night. The house has been on the market for quite some
time. The price was reduced by $20,000 from when it was first bought, and no one will live there longer than a month.

The legend of Anniston High School's locker room is known widely throughout the school. The legend is told to all the new coming female freshmen that go to their lockers
to change clothes for P.E. They are told by the upper classmen to give the freshmen a little scare by warning them of a vengeful ghost. The legend varies in
detail from person to person but the main facts of the story are almost always the same… A girl is late getting changed and leaves a precious item behind. She
decides to go back to get it while sending her friend to hold the bus for her. A man then tries to rape and kill her in the locker room
but he ends up dead and the body never gets recovered. The obvious conclusion is never go into the girl's locker room by yourself. Always go in with one of
your friends and never leave anyone alone in there. The true incident that started this legend occurred in 2001. This is what happened: There was this girl (name is unknown)
who always changed for P.E. She was usually the first to change for P.E. and also the first to leave P.E. and change back. One day while coming in from
playing outside, she was late in changing. It was the last period of the day and she was hurrying so that she wouldn't miss her bus. Her best friend was
also late and they only had two minutes to change, instead of their normal five minutes. While they were hurrying to change, other girls who had already changed left to
wait in the gym for the bell that signaled the end of the day to ring. Her friend was faster at putting on her school clothes but her friend stayed
to wait with her in the locker room. They rode the same bus home, so they both knew that it was almost always one of the first buses to be
there and didn't want to get left behind. So the girl finally finished putting on her clothes and they both walked out to sit with the rest of the students
in the gym to wait for the bell. As the bell rang, the girl just remembered that she left her purse in her locker. She was concerned about leaving it
because it contained all of her money. The girl's best friend offered to go back with her to get it, but the girl insisted that her friend should get on
the bus and tell the bus driver to hold it for her until she got on. So the girl ran down the steps and entered the locker room to get
her purse and her friend ran out to get on the bus. The friend relayed the message to the bus driver. As the girl got her purse and began to
close her locker, she heard the door creak and thought someone had come in. Thinking it was her coach, she called her name and yelled, "Coach! Coach! It's me, I
left my purse. Please don't lock the door just yet." She got no answer. She then heard footsteps that seemed to draw closer to her. She then began to grow
scared. Suddenly, she heard breathing that was so loud she was sure the person w as right behind her. She panicked and dropped her purse. She ran the other way
around the lockers toward the doors, but was yanked to the back of the lockers as she turned the corner. She kicked and screamed as the hands of a big
strong man tore off her shirt and began to rip off the rest of her clothes. He began to strangle her and scream at her to shut up. She continued
to fight back and tried to scream, but her throat closed and she couldn't scream anymore. She still didn't give up. In her last attempt, she pulled down a set
of lockers on top of him. He laid there motionless and breathless... he was dead. In a fright, she ran out of the locker rooms to the bus stop. But
she had taken too long and despite her friend’s desperate attempt to hold the bus, she had been left alone. She was still frightened by what had happened and called
her mom to come and get her. After telling the shocking story to her mother with great trouble of reliving the incident, they called the polic e. But when they
inspected the scene, they only found the pulled down lockers, the girl's purse and a pool of blood. The body was nowhere to be found. The girl was more shocked
then ever. She was sure the man was dead and the amount of blood on the floor indicated that it was impossible for him to still be alive. Her fear
was just too great to go back to where she had been raped and strangled, so they moved and were never heard from again. The man was never found, but
many say that his ghost still lurks in the locker rooms waiting for an unsuspecting girl that's by herself to take his revenge. Many didn't take this seriously until a
similar incident occurred when a girl in the band who was to play at a football game was left by herself to get dressed. The band left her in the
locker room and played all night without noticing she was gone. After the game had ended, she was sitting in the parking lot crying. She wouldn't say what had happened,
but appeared to have been strangl ed and her clothes were ripped and covered in blood. She then moved away without telling anyone of her dreadful story. Many girls have
been known to hear footsteps drawing closer when no one's there, lockers close and shut, and the door creaks open as if to let in an unwanted stranger when no
one is there. You might also feel a cold chill come over you and hear loud breathing coming from someone right behind you, but always cease when you turn around.

roads are still a remembrance of older days made of old concrete and stone. Many people met their demise in Dora, either by the tracks or other occurrences. At one
time, when racism was still the norm, a black man was accused of stealing a horse from a local resident, and was sentenced to die by hanging from a nearby
train trestle. It is said that the very second the man’s neck broke, the horse was found in a farm just outside of town. When the moon is full, you

wife in the adjacent forest.

Located in Mobile Bay, the ship was brought to Mobile in 1964 as a tourist attraction and memorial for veterans in Alabama. The Alabama is a South Dakota class Battleship
that was completed in 1942 for use in WWII. The "Mighty A" saw plenty of action against the Japanese in the south Pacific and is credited with shooting down 23
Japanese aircraft. Somehow, the Alabama and her crew managed to make it out of WWII without casualties or damage from enemy fire. The only deaths on board the ship were
8 people in a 5" gun mount (mount #5) that were killed by friendly fire from another gun turret (mount #9) on the ship. A safety feature that prevented the
turrets from firing if they were pointed at another turret or part of the ship failed. Mount 9 fired a round into mount 5 which exploded and killed everyone inside.
All that remained of the gun commander was his boots. There we re little fragments of bone and flesh plastered on the walls inside the turret where the men were
vaporized by the exploding shell. There were also two other deaths while the ship was under construction at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. A former worker reports that they had to stay
on the ship overnight alone quite a bit, so they got their share of scares. Their first encounter was in the Marine Compartment where the Marines slept. Footsteps were heard
approaching from around the corner when there was nobody on board. All around the ship, strange footsteps and voices were heard. Heavy solid steel watertight hatches on the superstructure would
slam shut with a loud thud for reasons that could not be explained. Late at night when the whole ship was very quiet, the bulkheads would seemingly come alive with
popping and tapping, and at times it was concentrated in one area. Needless to say, the Mighty A was very much alive.

in earlier days. Her father moved back to England and was so broken-hearted over the loss of his daughter that he had her body exhumed and moved back to England.
The lock remains, but the hauntings do not take place there, but instead, at the place where she drowned, which is now named "Gretchen's Lock" (another smaller part of the
Beaver Creek park). It is said by many that Gretchen actually helped others, mostly small children, who found themselves in danger in the creek when swimming was still allowed, and
that she can still be seen and heard today. She has been seen by so many that the story is easy to believe. It is also told that you can
hear Gretchen crying for all of the other's that had drowned in the creek. She is a very helpful ghost and the most popular here in the Tri-State area.

Ohio". She was not burned at the stake; she lived to a ripe old age. She was a Native American medicine woman and as time went on younger generations saw
her as a witch and as such she was harassed. But there are a lot of similarities between the two. She lived on land that a young farmer took care
of and he looked out for her, as she was his father’s friend. She died at an old age and did put a "curse," of sorts, on the farmland and
the land around. There is a marker where she is supposedly buried but she is not there. There are several hills that surround the property and she is buried on
one of those, no one knows which, because she wanted to always be able to see the sun set. The farmer would always chase kids off trying to ghost hunt

one night she signaled him and he began down the road to see her, supposedly a young boy was riding! his bicycle in the road, the guy on the motorcycle
didn’t see him until it was too late wrecked into him and they both died, (the red lights are the reflectors off the bicycle) when the girl saw this she
hung herself from the barn in her yard (which is the same yard you turn around in) the barn is still there but only remains.
If you are parked at the top of the hill and flash your lights three times you will see a motorcycle come toward you. Legend has it a guy and
a girl were not allowed to see each other so the girl would sneak out at night and flash a light three times. To the her boyfriend waiting at the

lights he thinks that it is his girlfriend and he starts to come down the road.

To get the story straight on Hotel Breakers (it was probably a seasonal employee making something up about Fridays) There are two known reoccurring instances of hauntings in Hotel Breakers.
Hotel Breakers has now four sections all of which were built at different places in time, the oldest and still central being of the hotel is "The Rotunda" which is
named so for its circular five floored circular structure of which live it's majority of rooms. "The Lobby" is a two story structure in which contain offices and old meeting
rooms on the first floor of such, second floor has rooms that were once guest rooms, now employee dwellings. this is that which we are most interested in for in
one of the two second floor hallways is room #169. The very room in which during the early 1900's when the park was still just a beach resort, a guest
by the name of Mary hung herself in dismay (supposed to that of a lover), hung herself in her room. Since then, Employee and guest alike have had odd occurrences,
disturbances, violent unseen actions, noises, problems with electronics occur. The third oldest portion of the hotel "Breakers East" Which in itself wasn't built until the mid 90's and is portioned
into three and four floors. The occurrences in this section were sightings of "Faceless apparitions" in a small combination of number. All other sightings and instances are not known as
re-occurring and random. The whole park is rumored to be haunted, and also rumored to have been built on a native burial ground.

the well. Strange things happened in the house for almost 200 years later. Doors would open by themselves. Pets refused to go into the dining room nor would plants ever
live in it. Small fires would start in the fireplace on their own. Door handles would be witnessed as wiggled when no one was on the other side to do
so. Shadows are seen and images are seen outside a huge picture window that looks over a river. the well is still there and nothing will grow with in a
10 feet radius of it. In 1979, the house mysteriously burned down without any indication of a cause.
When employees walk the halls of the third floor at night, there is an uncanny feeling that they are not alone. The television in 317 will turn on and flip
channels all by itself. A laundry attendant was trapped in 315 (the locks are on the inside, and the door opens to the inside, but the door would not open
from the inside.) Housekeepers cleaning room 324 have seen the curtains in 312 fluttering/opening, but when the room was checked, the AC unit was off and the room was vacant.

There is an old cemetery on Wehr Road that is said to be haunted. Many people have driven down it at night, as it is very popular to younger kids.

by a maniac with a hatchet. He now carries the hatchet and, on some nights, if you drive by you can hear the hatchet hitting a metal door on the
side of the mausoleum. There are several hatchet marks on this door.
To the east of Troy, where LeFevre Road crosses Lost Creek, before you get to North Children’s Home Road, is Crybaby Bridge. Late at night, a baby can be heard

never found. It cries for it's parents.
The entrance to the cemetery is surrounded by nothing but woods and the entrance is barely wide enough for a car. After you drive or walk up two smaller hills,
the cemetery is on the left. The latest burial in here is from the 1800's. There is one lonely tree in the middle. At night, you can hear footsteps all
around you in the woods, footsteps, which sound like walking on concrete, in the top of the tree and what appears to be the shrieking of a woman who is
often heard after an Owl. On some nights you can hear moaning from the far back left corner of the cemetery. Rumor is, a woman in the 1870's was raped
and murdered here while visiting her grandfather’s grave.

1909 an Freight Train was traveling northbound from Union Twp "which is to the south" when 2 engineers where scalded to death when the steam train boiler blew. They say
to this day reports of the dead trainmen in black walk the tracks between the Screaming Bridge to Gano. The bridge is a common place for car accidents as well
as suicides over the years. To this day at least 36 reported people have lost their lives on or near the bridge. Ghostly figures are commonly seen on film with
110 400 speed or 35mm b/w or color 400 speed film. Other ghostly lights and spirit energy are commonly reported on film too. The rarely seen Invisible Bridge and train
may be also captured on film too. Other things not as commonly are ghostly fogs appearing on the tracks below "even that you seen no fog on the tracks as
you took the pic" Black hooded figures are also seen. Another story is that a bus driver lost control of the bus and all the children in it died. If
you are coming up the road, there is a sign that says "school bus stop ahead." And if you drive across the bridge, it sounds like children are screaming. Another
is there was a murder near that bridge also. And if you park on the bridge, turn your car off, roll your windows down and flash your lights three times,
you will see a man with an axe walking toward your car. And yet another is of a woman threw her baby off the bridge and hung herself afterwards. People
go there in the middle of the night and say they hear screams.
On night there were a few children playing hide and go seek out in the woods located by the river of this road. When the others were searching for this
boy they found him hung. As the legend believes, if you are out on this road at night, stop your car on the bridge and get out peering over the
side, you will see the figure of this boy coming out of the water and will come towards you.

Near the Zaleski CCC Camp is an old railway tunnel named Moonville Tunnel. The tunnel is still there and many local kids swim there in the creek. In the 1800's
during a thunderstorm the trestle or train bridge was washed out. With no other way to stop the train the signalman stood this side of the creek where the trestle
had stood. On the opposite bank was just about 20 feet then the tunnel itself. On the other side of the tunnel was a turn in the track. It was
near midnight so the story goes when the signalman was waving the lantern to warn of danger. He knew it was of little use because of the layout of the
track and tunnel before the trestle. The train probably didn't even see his light before crashing into the ravine below. A lot of people died that night in the crash.

During the Revolutionary War the woods that once stood where now stands a housing sub-division, with the street name of Shelly Drive, provided cover and refuge to many troops of
both sides of the American conflict. It has long been said that where the street Shelly Drive ends into a new sub-division there was a horrible battle between Patriots and
British troops. So Bloody and horrific was this Battle that scores of troops from both sides were killed. One particularly poor soul was that of a boy named William Champlain
who fought on the side of the Patriots but was a spy for the British. When it was discovered by Washington's troops that Champlain was a spy they did not
let on to him that he was compromised. At the start of the battle it was relayed to the troops by Washington himself that Champlain should be shot from behind
to let the British know that his traitorous dealings didn't deserve a bullet from the firing squad. Upon the start of the Battle Champlain moved to the front of the
line to get a better shot he was heard to say, and before the first volley of shots were exchanged between side's he was dropped in his stride from a
volley of shot's from five patriot's. It has long been said that the spirit of William Champlain Haunt's the sub-division in search of Washington in the hopes of finding out
why he was struck down by his own troops. Being only a boy of 17 at the time of his demise and fond of the flute he has been heard
many a fall night playing sad ballads and tunes in search of his mentor. So if you are walking or driving down Shelly Drive one evening and see a young
lad dressed in Colonial attire don't be alarmed it is only William Champlain looking for his troops bivouac, and the reason for his betrayal.

past them, not looking to the right or left, or at them. They could not hear his footsteps as he walked by. It was very peculiar in those days for
a stranger to be alone in the mountains at dark without a horse or supplies. He would have approached the fire to talk. But this person acted as though they
weren't there. Charles M. Scribner ran a stage line between Battle and Encampment. One of his drivers quit because on one occasion a man approached his team of six horses,
walked right between them and disappeared. The horses reared and bolted and it was all the driver could do to control them. He was sure it was the "Ghost of

It is said that during some early renovation work on the Paramount Theatre, a death occurred there and the man’s ghost has forever since haunted the Paramount. In the early
1940s, four construction workers from Boyd Theater Company in Cincinnati, Ohio were working on a project inside the auditorium. It is reported that all of them had gone to lunch
except one man, a guy named Joe. When the other three returned, they found Joe hanging from the curtain rigging, dead. And since then, sounds have been heard, things have
gone missing, cold drafts have been felt, and some folks even claim to have seen the image of a man appear on occasion. However, he is by all means a
“good ghost” - one who seems to look out for the benefit of the theatre and its occupants. When Billy Ray Cyrus was here filming his video for "Achy Breaky
Heart," he was told about the legend of Paramount Joe. Between breaks, Billy Ray would talk to Joe, laughing and joking with him, sometimes even asking for his help. It
is customary to get 8 x 10 photographs signed by each performer that appears at the Paramount and then hang the photo on the 'Wall of Fame' in the box
office. Billy Ray personally autographed large color posters to each of the female employees working here at the time - and one with a personal inscription to Paramount Joe, whom
he now had a fondness for. Each lady put her poster near her desk and Joe's was hung in the box office, near all the other performers. As time passed
and the walls in the box office became too full of 8x10’s signed by other performers, the executive director felt that some of the pictures and posters needed to come
down. Since there were so many of Billy Ray, she asked the women to remove their posters since they were all so similar. Nobody wanted to take their personally autographed
picture of Billy Ray down so they took down the one he had signed to Paramount Joe. The next day, when the ladies came to work, every single 8x10 and
poster that had been hanging neatly on the walls the night before were now lined strewn on the floor, many of their glass frames shattered! It was as if someone
had wiped each one off the wall. To this day, Paramount Joe’s poster still hangs in the Paramount, in a very special part of The Marquee Room, which is now
the site of Paramount Joe’s Rising Star Café’. There is another story about the time two new employees wanted to investigate the basement in the Paramount and some old items
that had been stored there. To reach the basement, you must go through a door that is located just inside the lounge outside the ladies restroom. This brings you to
the top of the stairs. At the top of those stairs is a light switch that will light the first section of the stairwell. As you progress, there is a
switch that will light each area in front of you. And, there is no partner switch. In other words, you must turn the light off at the same place you
turned it on. The marketing director had offered to take the two new female employees into the basement and turned on the lights at the top of the stairs. The
ladies hurried down the steps. At that moment the marketing director was called to take a phone call inside the office. He told the other two employees to wait, he
would be right back. In their excitement however, they did not hear him and they continued on. Recounting the story later, it was at this point they called up to
him to turn on the next light for them. As it turned out, he was on the phone longer than expected and met the ladies as they were coming back
up the steps. "Thanks for turning on the light for us," one of them said, "but we can't get it to turn off." Puzzled, he explained that he had not
turned on the light for them – and in fact, could not turn on the light. The expression on their faces revealed that they were not kidding with him. They
lead him back into the basement, only to be met by darkness. 'Someone' had turned the light off again as well. "Well, thanks Joe," called out one of the ladies,
as she shivered. In 2004, marketing director Tyson Compton was giving a tour to some high school students. As he was relating the Paramount Joe story, he realized that he
was always talking about Joe, and not to him. So as he spoke to the students, he stopped and called out, “Joe, are you here? Is it ok that I
tell your story?” While he swears that he then heard a seat squeak, that is not the the most chilling part of this story. Compton relates how he received a
call the very next day from a psychic who lived in the area. She asked him if someone in his family or a close friend had recently died because she
had gotten a message from “the other side.” He said no that he could think of no one. “Well, she said, “I’m supposed to tell you that Joe said he
is here.”

The story is that 15 or 16 little kids got detention and were locked in the boiler room. The boiler exploded and killed the kids. Now if you go late
at night then u can hear screams, sometimes you will see little kids, if you take pictures and get them developed you will see orbs and strange smoke that is
in the shape of people. But when u look at the spots in person there is nothing, but in the pictures there is freaky stuff. On the walls in the
boiler room there are child size handprints burned into the wall. - November 2005 update: no screams where noted. A well-defined shadow of a little kid was seen through
one of the glass doors in the school. The investigators watched this figure move from side to side of the door and then it walked toward them through the door
and stood still for around 30 seconds, all of the sudden it bent down and got into like a 3 point lineman stance and then jumped toward them, they turned
the lights on and there was nothing there. They placed a voice recorder in the boiler room as well and got what sounded to be a heartbeat that kept getting
faster and louder and then made one loud beat and stopped. Also there was a loud moaning throughout the whole schoolhouse from the pipes but there is no heat going
through the pipes so I have no clue why that would be making noise. An update to make on the school is that it was demolished last year and made
into a park for the community.

Footsteps and screaming in the land navigation woods on the base right outside of Camp Devil Dog. Sometimes, a young girl will come out to the road. If you're female,
she will stand there and play with her hair and look at the ground. But many males have said she sees them and screams. She is very beautiful, but has
wide bright eyes that seem to see right behind you at all times. Some believe she is the young mistress of a military officer, hanged to death because she fell
in love with him and would have told his wife. However, the loop in the noose was too wide for her slender neck and se died days later from either
asphyxiation or hunger. Some others say she is a body that was found in the swamp in the back of the woods.

AKA Lydia's Bridge - Just outside of Greensboro, there has said to have been the ghost of a beautiful young girl who has been appearing near Greensboro since 1923. She
stands next to the US Highway 70 Underpass in a white evening gown and waves frantically for someone to stop and pick her up. Those hapless travelers who do are
introduced to a young woman who says her name is Lydia and she always ask them to please take her to an address in High Point. She always tells them
that she has spent the evening at a dance in Raleigh and is anxious to get home, having run into car trouble on the way. Just as the drivers approach
the house, the girl always vanishes from their car, never opening the door and getting out.- March 2004 additional info: There are many versions to the story but the
most common one that I have heard is that Lydia was at a dance one night and was trying to get home. A car apparently hit her and now she
hitches rides home from the bridge. When the person gets her to her house, she disappears. She never says anything other than her name is Lydia; she needs to get
home, and her address. Another story posted on www.dawghouse.topcities.com/northcarolina.html. Either way, she died in 1923. The road that linked High Point and Greensboro was a different road than is
there now. There are train tracks that are the reason for the bridge. The bridge now is called the graffiti bridge, for obvious reasons. To the left of this bridge,
about 40 ft away and hidden in massive amounts of kudzu, is where the original bridge is, and it's Lydia's bridge. There is another bridge about 2 miles away from
these that is also believed to be Lydia's bridge. This one is an actual bridge that you drive over and it's over a creek. Some kids have spray painted pentagrams
on it which is kind of freaky but at the same time, there is a sort of eerie presence here. One report of a group of friends in the 80’s
that would venture there had two girls in this group and every time they would get close to the bridge, the girls would pass out. www.hauntednc.com says that Lydia is
merely an urban legend. Which bridge is really her bridge? How did she die? Why was she walking home? Or was she in the car with her date? Where’s a
newspaper article or an obituary that can prove to us that this happened? If she died at the bridge close to the graffiti bridge, one wonders who is haunting the
one over the creek? Why would kids choose that bridge to paint pentagrams on?

The old Blakney House is located on Franklin St. Believed to be haunted by William Blakney, a greedy miser who has hidden his fortune somewhere in the house. There is
also rumored talk about a girl, perhaps related to Blakney, who watched her parents get run over from the upstairs window. The house was first renovated and remodeled about 15
years ago to house a privately owned "Boswell's Restaurant." Prior to the remodeling, neighborhood kids were told not to go around the house, but that might have been just adults
against trespassing. Once the restaurant opened, employees began to report strange things, such as dishes (entire cabinets full) relocated, tables being moved, and other odd anomalies. One account, involved a
luncheon on the 2nd floor in one of the reserve rooms. Only two people were at the restaurant (it didn't open until lunch) and they set up elaborate place settings
for the luncheon. As they went downstairs to start preparing further, loud crashes and bangs were heard from the upstairs. Using the slave staircase (it's that old), which is the
only way to get up to that part of the house when it's locked, they found the entire banquet room had been ransacked. When you try to go upstairs, you
get a very unsettling feeling - the feeling of "I don't want to go up there at all." No business, restaurant or otherwise, has been successful at the Blakney house,
or at least no business ever stays there for very long. The business located there today makes a point of closing before dark, as they are afraid to be in
the building for "when the fun begins."

and this is where everything begins. However on a good night it begins when you first turn on the road. You have to go after dark but the best time
to go is around or after midnight. This cemetery disappears and then reappears in different locations. However it will not show itself when you drive down the road. You have
to drive down to the end of the road and turn around and come back in order to see the cemetery. You will know when you are close to the
cemetery because you will have an overwhelming feeling of sadness and will begin to cry for no apparent reason. You will see and hear various things. Sometimes you can hear

get brave enough to push your car out. There have been images of Soldiers killing each other and those around them. There have been sightings of the dense woods opening
where you can see more than you should. The fork in the road rolls and a dense mist appears and disappears as you drive the road. There is also a
guardian dog. This dog closely resembles the "Hounds of Hell" as described in the Bible. This dog has dead yellow eyes and casts the shadow of a demon when it
gets ready to disappear in the triangle at the fork in the road. The dog appears to be injured when it first appears on the side of the road, thus
making you want to stop and pick it up, which in turn gives an open invitation to any spirit that is around. When you fail to pick up the dog
things begin to change. The dog will walk a few steps and then turn to see if you are still following it. However if you speed up the dog will
speed up, if you slow down it will slow down, if you go to the left it will go to the left, if you go to the right it will
go to the right and it is impossible to run over this dog. There have also been sightings of wrecked vehicles with people screaming for help. Due to the period

you cannot show fear or it can take your soul, according to the legend. There are many trapped souls at this location that will mess with you. Make sure you

let them. So go if you dare just don't show fear! Everyone sees something different when they go to this location so be prepared to be scared.
Witches Grave - This cemetery is located off of Ford's Ferry Road in Marion. The legend behind this cemetery is about a five year old girl who was burned at
the stake, along with her mother, in the late 1800's to the early 1900's for witchcraft. It is not known what happened to the body of the mother, however the
little girl, Mary Evelyn, is buried in a steel lined grave that is covered with rock and not dirt. She has a white picket fence surrounding her grave. The base
of this fence is a series of crosses that connect end to end. However she is not tall enough to climb over the fence, unlike a normal 5 year old.
Her tombstone looks brand new even though it is close to 100 years old, as does the fence. She paces inside this fence when someone comes to visit her making
faces at them and reaching out to them. She sleeps during the day but is very evident at night. The legend also says that she can not rest because she
is searching for her mother but can not escape the confines of the fence. Many unexplainable things occur at this cemetery. For one the "Watcher" makes himself very know and
tries to follow you out of the cemetery. The "Watcher" was murdered at the swinging bridge but haunts the witch’s grave. He is trying to get to the little witch
but because of the crosses that surround her he is unable to because he is evil. Crosses appear in the trees both upright and upside down, directly over her grave,
though they face different directions. She presents herself as a normal 5-year-old little girl in a white dress, though her dress is scorched at the bottom as is her blonde
hair. If you lay on her grave she will hold you down refusing to let go until someone from outside of the fence pulls you free. However never lay on
the grave when you are alone because chances are you will be pulled into her grave to be with her thus giving her more power. As with every haunted cemetery
people that are open to the spirit world sees something different.

are from all the people that died that day. the track is still up there and the guard rails and what’s left of the bleachers is their too. the old

yes it's still there, not in good shape but still there. There was an accident that only the drivers were killed in, not 15 people. Every now and then, no
certain time, you can sit on the blacktop road that runs beside the earth walls of the track and hear the wreck happen. There are no homes behind the track,
it's all woods. There are houses on the creek past the track, as well as before you get to the track. If you want to find this track I'll tell
you how. You go up Lewis Creek, off of US HWY 119 in Partridge. Cross the new state bridge just off 119, then go on up the holler. You'll cross
a set of railroad tracks on your way to the track. You will come to a yard with a fairly large house off in the distance and an old barn
just off the road; this is Lonnie Lewis' house, and barn. The Lonnie that lives in the house is also the Lonnie that the speedway was named after. The racetrack
looks like just a hill, just off the road right past the barn on the left of the road. Make sure ask Lonnie's permission to go to the actual track
because he is now old and might think that you're trying to steal something. His son also lives in a camper near the track, behind the barn.
Radios, light's would turn of you can feel cold spot's and a feeling of someone watching you.
This happens in a little place called Typo, were a man haunt's the railroad tracks as some people know as Dead Man's Curve. People seem to see thing's that are

give up and let you go and let you be till you quit fighting. Then he will walk off for someone else to step in those tracks.

Tunnel Hill - Tunnel Hill is located a couple of miles in the back roads of Napfor just before you get to low water bridge. Directly on top of the

hidden among the manholes. It is said that the manhole will give way to the secret passage and those who have ventured into this passage have no recollection of how
they got there. When walking through the tunnels all light sources will slowly drain and the further you venture into the tunnel total darkness. It is then that random light
sources will appear from cracks and crevices on various places in the tunnel. Rather you go in the day or night the same will happen because most occurrences happen once
you reach the middle of the tunnel. The right tunnel is much more active than the left. NEVER go alone. Beware these tunnels are still in service and actual trains
still pass through each day. One such aspect of the haunting place is the ghost train, which you will actually hear and even feel beneath your feet. Faint train horns
echo throughout this terrifying area. Also feel free to explore the large active cemeteries above. Rumors are there many more horrifying things that have happened and continue to happen that

The Civil War emancipationist, Cassius M. Clay, one of his daughters, one of his sons, and a black servant, haunt the mansion. There have been sightings of Master Clay passing
back and forth in front of the top middle window (the nursery), waiting for his ex-wife and children to return. - June 2005 Update: The Curator at White Hall
State Historic Site reports: It is possible that a daughter and son are at White Hall, as numerous incidents site a woman and a little boy. A baby most certainly
resides in the mansion. On two separate occasions, in two different seasons, tour guides have heard a baby laughing. Another guide had a small child on her tour remark about
seeing babies in the house. The story of Clay passing before the "top middle window" (which, incidentally is the third floor hallway, and not a nursery) is a story that
the works say they never heard of or experienced at this site. It is doubtful that Cassius would have waited for his ex-wife and children, more likely they would be
waiting for him, as he spent a great deal of time away from home campaigning, fighting in the Mexican War, as ambassador to Russia, and in general making a spectacle
of himself. In addition to sightings of a lady (although we call her "the lady in black," she is rather stylish and tends to change her clothes, the Curator’s husband
has seen her in blue), music has been heard in the mansion (of the piano and music box variety) as well as footsteps. At times one can also smell candles,
perfume, apple pie, bourbon and bacon.

like castle with red pointed tower-like structures). You can't see it from the road but you can pull right up next to the old iron gates. It is said that
the man who once lived there killed his wife and children. Lack of evidence though, he could not be convicted. If you pull up next the iron gates at night
an scream at the gates, you can hear the wife and children screaming for help! It is better that you go alone. If you go alone it rules out all
possibilities of echos.

As an inexperienced rock climber, he decided to take his chances anyway and go climbing for the day. For the most part, he had a pretty good day--until he decided
to climb down to the tunnel (otherwise known as the Nada Tunnel). It was dark outside and he wasn't wearing any bright or distinctive colored clothing and as his luck
would have it, his rope broke. Just as he was falling, a big green bus from the job corps came by and hit him as he was falling. To this
day, the tunnel still glows from his presence. At 1:17am, the tunnel will glow for 13 minutes (the length of time it took him to die). Witnesses say, as he
was dying he mentioned seeing "the glow". Now every year on October 29th, at 1:17am, the tunnel glows.

February 2004 correction: Formerly posted as "Barren Rd. Cemetery" - There is supposed to be a witch buried in the Grave yard, there is a house built around her grave
and there are times that you can go and the house will be locked. And there are times you will go and the house will not be locked...As you turn
on the road it gets very cold even in the Summer time- February 2004 correction – additional information: Her name was Anna Foster and she died at the age of
28. In the last year or so her headstone has been stolen and the shelter over her grave has been vandalized and almost torn apart. It's sad and the submitter
has nearly cry every time they see it. They are looking into fixing the shelter themselves. But they cannot afford to replace her headstone, unfortunately. Upon research they have discovered
that she is not the witch everyone thinks. The "real" witch's grave is located just inside the woods next to this cemetery. - Again, we have to state that
if you are going to investigate these places, have respect for the people involved with these places. To destroy history, and vandalize graves proves nothing but your foolishness.

Gillespie (Johnson) Hall - CC is a small school...everyone knows everyone else (1700 students). The freshman girls dorm has had several incidences on the third floor where they see a
girl who does not live there. Sometimes the girl is crying and sometimes she just stares. Other times she is there and disappears. Doors close and open, TV’s and stereos
come on and off, radios and computers turn on. Padlocked doors are opened and then when you walk back by (minutes later) it will be locked. Some days it is
locked and you can see lights from underneath the door leading up to the attic. It is rumored that she was a cheerleader who got pregnant by a football player
and instead of leaving school (strict place here) she killed herself in the attic. She supposedly lived on the third floor in 316. One girl who lived in that room
was engaged and at night she would take her ring off and put it on the desk and every morning she would wake up to find it in the garbage.
In a room on the first floor that was numbered 13 has since been painted over that number and replaced with number 19. Things will be moved out of its
place, you can hear a girl singing very quietly which seems to be opera, you can hear a violin being played, keys being placed on a desk, pushing on the
bottom of the bed, a mysterious foot print on carpeted floor which seems to be wet will not go a way.

There is a former medical clinic turned museum in downtown Winchester, Kentucky that seems to be haunted. The stories range from footsteps around, and above the listener to doors opening
and closing themselves, and even sightings of full body apparitions of former clinic employees. Moving cold spots, fluctuating EMF readings, various orb photos, and such are common in the building
especially on the third floor. There have been several very clear EVPs caught in and around the former operating room, and in various places on the third floor of the
building, as well as in the former morgue area. The voices captured seem to be that of doctor and nurses talking just before, or during a surgery, and of a
man screaming, and moaning in pain. Also, at least one home video exists of heavy footsteps walking, and then running across the floor above the listeners, and of a hallway
door shutting itself, opening itself, and then slamming its self shut. The most compelling evidence this video holds is of a lock on the third floor hallway door unexplainably unlatching
its self right before your eyes, and the door slowly opening. These events have been witnessed for decades, and by countless numbers of people and as before stated even exists
on video. The building is currently open as a museum for historical tours Tuesday thru Friday for a small admission fee, and plans are in the works to do a
half night paranormal tour for Halloween 2008.

The Alma Cemetery is haunted for two reasons. One is the people who are buried there and refuse to leave. Some pictures have been taken during the night up there.
(It's the best time.) The pictures were unbeleivable, there were orbs and mist figures in the pictures. Reason two is the legend of the Devil's Chair. The story is that
in the 1800s a real old mean farmer owned the land that is now the cemetery. About that same time Alma was being built. Towns officials had been trying to
get him to sell his land so they could use it for the new town's cemetery. But he kept refusing to sell it. One day while at his well getting
water someone came up from behind him and pushed him into the well. Than about a week later the town officials come out to the farm to try and to
get him to sell again. And one of them noticed a smell from the well. The sheriff said it was nothing and ordered for the well to be boarded and
locked and that no one is suppose to talk about. So the farmers land became the town's cemetery. Than in the 1980s some teens decided to go out there and
see if they can see the ghost of the old man. One of the teens dared another to sit on top of the closed well. The teen did as he
was dared, but suddenly the group heard a sound behind them and turned to see what it was and there was nothing there. So when they turned around to see
if there friend was still sitting there. But he wasn't. Thinking that it was a joke he was playing they left and figured they'd see him tomorrow. But the teen
was never seen again. Over the years there have been other stories of people sitting on the Devil's Chair and never being seen again. Some people say that it's the
farmer reaching through the now old rotted broken boards and getting revenge on the town that took his land away from him. People call it the Devil's Chair because the
man was evil when he was alive and is still evil after death.
Wabaunsee High School is the Haunted by past students and teachers. Most of the students groups are those of students who never got to graduate from the high school because
they died while attending it. Teachers and even students have experienced strange things, which occur mostly on the third floor of the building. Things usually occur when someone is on
the floor alone. One time the junior- senior class English teacher was alone in her classroom grading paper. Her door is right across the hall for the school’s auditorium and
she noticed that the lights in auditorium were flickering on and off and there were voices coming from it. She thought that it was some students that had stayed in
the building and were goofing off. So she went to check it but the door was locked, and the kept flickering. So she went to back to her classroom and
got her key. As soon as she unlocked and opened the door the lights and the voices stopped. So she peaked in side but saw nothing. As she walked out
she was stunned at what she saw, every single locker on the floor was wide open, even the ones that had padlocks on them. She slowly closed the auditorium door
and locked it and as she was locking it all the locker doors slammed shut. She was so scared that she left the high school without locking her classroom door.
Another time the same teacher was again grading papers by herself in her classroom. She suddenly heard music coming from the auditorium, so she grabbed her key went to the
door unlocked it and opened it. She almost passed out at what she saw, she saw a ghostly looking lady playing an instrument. The figure was of a teacher who
used to teacher band at the high school, she had died a few years ago of cancer. So when you walk the third floor hall of Wabaunsee High School alone
beware of what you might encounter.

happened to Ephriam, but Elizabeth Polly stayed on at the fort tirelessly nursing sick soldiers. In the late afternoon, she would take a moment to walk to her favorite spot
that was an isolated hilltop west of the fort. She would rest there and enjoy the peace and quiet. Elizabeth Polly eventually contracted Cholera and died in the fall of
1867. She was given a full military funeral and was buried at her favorite spot on the hilltop. In the 1960's, a marker was erected there that read "The Lonely
Grave." It is very difficult to get to by vehicle and the last hundred yards must be covered by foot. The ghost of Elizabeth Polly has been seen many times
over the years haunting the lonely hilltop that she had frequented so often in life.
There was a story that said a girl went to a party at Swinging Bridge Park. She got drunk, and she wanted to go home. Her boyfriend offered to take
her home, but she refused. She said that she would walk home. When crossing the highway, she was hit by a car and she died. One boy and his friend
were biking down the old bike trail that is now shut down. The first time around, they were riding in tall grass, and they caught a glimpse of a pale
girl walking in the grass right in front of them. One of the boys swerved to miss her. They turned and looked back, and saw nothing. They went around the
trail once more and looked where they almost hit the girl. They didn't see anything. Where she was walking in the tall grass, no evidence was left - no footprints
or broken grass. Stumped, the boys kept biking and then suddenly came to a stop. What they saw in frontof them was that same girl in the torn shirt wearing
shorts sitting on a high tree branch. The branch was a flimsy branch and it's obvious it wouldn't be able to support more than about maybe 10 pounds. Yet stumped
again, the boys took another trip around the trail and saw nothing.

Indian children crying and roaming about the campus looking for their parents.
Haskell is a know sight for countless paranormal activity. The campus itself dates back to the 1800's when the US Government built Haskell Institute to help control the Native American
population and assimilate them into mainstream America. Native American children were taken from their reservations and sent to schools like Haskell to teach them how to be white Americans. All
aspects of their Native American heritage was stripped from them and they were forced to act as the Government felt appropriate. Countless reports and documents held in the National Archives
office in Kansas City tell stories of children beaten and abused for using their Native tongue, or for acting out of conduct. The University of Kansas forensic labs hold several
remains of children found buried throughout the Haskell Campus. Many rumors are speculated about some of the Universities buildings, which are all some of the oldest in the state of
Kansas. Haskell is an amazing place for those who seek an up and close experience with the paranormal. The history and horror that this campus holds is unlike any other
place in the world. So, if you are daring, ask for a key to Hiawatha Hall and see if you can stand to be alone in the building for more

The story of this place has lived among the locals and not sure if it is fact or myth, however the story goes: In the early settlers days pioneers settled
on flowertop mountain and they believed the indians were peaceful however one fateful day their opinion changed. The way this was discovered was through a riddle passed down through generations
about a diary kept by a woman on that spot. The riddle was eventually solved and revealed a location of the supposed diary. The location was a gnarled tree at
the top of flowertop and sure enough there stood a small dead tree that stood out from the rest. "Historians" dug up around the tree and found the diary. The
woman talked about how the Indians were peaceful but the last entry out of nowhere stated. "Indians Hostile". It is along with the story that every settler was murdered and
to this day that gnarled tree still stands. The odd thing about the tree is that it leans north and its branches point north while everything on the other side
of it is dead, but the trees around it lean south and the north sides the dead or dieing branches. - **A few more points of interest about this place**

An explosion in the late 1980s killed two workers, a man and a woman, and closed the plant for more than two years. When work resumed in 1990, just in
time for the Persian Gulf War, part of the building was closed. To prevent sympathetic detonation in case of an accident, work areas were located several hundred yards apart, connected
by ramshackle, unpainted, wasp-infested wooden ramps. Inspectors, supervisors and parts managers rode old-fashioned bicycles with wire handlebar baskets between areas. They used thumb-operated bicycle bells to alert other bikers and
"pedestrians" before crossing an intersection or entering an adjoining hallway. As production of the cluster bombs continued -- with 202 bombs tucked inside each one -- rumors spread that the
workers killed by a single exploding bomblet was haunting the closed area of the plant. Only two of the employees who survived the explosion returned to the plant, but they
each began to have nightmares about their former co-worker; one was being chased through the dark, wooden ramps by the woman, whose face was destroyed in the blast by flying
shrapnel. The other survivor was plagued by visions of a male co-worker being vaporized from the waist up by the explosion, his legs, shielded by the thick steel work table,
beginning to turn and run without its upper body. In the dreams, they kept running. Finally, one night two inspectors and a parts manager decided to explore the closed ramp.
There were no lights in the area, and the workers hadn't thought to bring a flashlight. Still, they crept ahead into the dark. About 100 feet or so up the
hall, the air cooled noticeably. The men walked a few feet further until, from around a bend ahead of them, they heard it: a metallic ringing. A bicycle bell rang
twice in the pitch black, abandoned hall. Brrrng, brrrng! Then, after a pause, twice more: Brrrng, brrrng! The men, already nervous because of the dark and cold, fled back down
the ramp to the light. After catching their breath, they agreed they had heard a bicycle bell, precisely the type bell used by the company's supervisors, inspectors, etc. for transportation
in the labyrinthine plant. They agreed that the sound had come from ahead of them, not behind, and they agreed it wasn't likely anyone could have been in the ramp
ahead of them with a bicycle.

you turn your head to look at him he's gone again. He's also scared a few people enough to never want to go down there alone or again but he
has never harmed anyone. He's become a part of everyday life with all of the people who work in the sub-basement.

Professor Java's Coffee Sanctuary - Middle age gentlemen seen in walking past mirrors but when you turn there is no one there. Workers hear noises at night and sometimes lights
come off and on. Spirit does not like to be around when there are many people but late during the night you get a strange feeling of heaviness and even
hairs sticking up on your arms. A spirit of a dog can also be sometimes heard and seen. Building has gone many extensive renovations. It was once an old house,
and then renovated to a hair stylist, it also has been reported by several people to have been at one time a secret illegal meth production house that was shut
down. Spirit has been felt standing behind people and in some cases breathing down their necks behind them or being lightly touched or pushed. The activity stems from the basement.
Some workers refuse to go down there by themselves.
GE Plastics - The site of GE in Selkirk used to be the Becker farm. It is over 300 acres. The original farm house is still intact and was occupied
on and off with offices until March of 2004. There had been many stories from employees on what they had seen or heard. The story goes that Mr. Becker caught
his wife having sex with one of the slaves. He took the slave and pushed him down a very narrow out of the way set of slave stairs and he
died, he then took a knife and killed his wife by cutting her head off or attempting to anyway. He was so grief stricken about his wife having an affair
and the fact that he killed her, he went to the basement and hung himself. When in the basement sometimes the lights will all blow out or other things will
turn on and off. And when on the second floor where he supposedly killed his wife there is a strange smell, kind of like perfume. And when going up or
down the slave stairs you get a strange sense of being watched or followed. There are also motion detectors and intrusion alarms. some guards say there that sometimes they will
go off, when the building is completely empty. And they will go off in a strange order, sometimes near the basement and then almost immediately near the stairs. Sometimes it
appears as if someone is walking through. They will check the system to see who accessed the Becker House and see that no one has.

mentioned in the house and the surrounding gardens. The spirit is believed to be the daughter of Captain Andrew C. Zabriskie, the former owner and builder of the house. One
winter their daughter either fell or jumped to her death out the window of their New York apartment and it is said she remains at the summer house because she
disliked Manhattan while alive. An eerie postscript: before her death, Capt. Zabriskie commissioned a sculptor to create 4 statues of her for each 3 years of her life up to

place a cold hand upon the student's forehead.

he was placed in a small shack at the end of Whiskey Hollow Road. Due to some mysterious circumstances the man died in that shack before his execution or during

There are several, seemingly, unrelated stories about this road which starts as Federal Hill Road in Brewster, New York and ends as Joe's Hill Road in Danbury, Connecticut. The most
pronounced story is that of the Jesus Tree (cut down in the early 1990's). This tree with the image of Jesus on the crucifix was said to "bleed" a red
substance from its trunk when they cut it down. There are twelve trees evenly spaced and equal in stature directly following where the Jesus Tree stood. These are said to
be the twelve apostles. When you travel farther down the road (eastbound), you come to a very curious looking estate. this ominous looking estate is actually Morefar Golf Club. This
is believed to be a cover for something else. Word of links to the Satanic church have been bantered about. The main entrance has a sign reading "Back 'o Beyond".
Interesting welcome for a country club. Immediately following Morefar, and across the street is Farrington Pond. There have been several stories about people driving off the road, into the pond,
claiming to have seen "something". The undifinitive story of this pond is that a young lady, on her way to a High School Prom, went off the road and into
the pond. She was said to have drowned. When the moonlight hits the water, people have been known to see an image in a prom dress on top of the
water, dancing - alone. In 1988, a young man named Dean, was found in his car on the side of the pond (just off the road), dead from gun shot
wounds to the back of his head. The two men who were responsible were captured within a week. It is unknown whether this has anything to do with the spirit
of the pond, but, if nothing else, it adds to the eeriness of the road.

the upper floors when spirits change classes -- doors sounding as if they're opening and closing, faint laughter and voices in the hallways... Another staff member swore she was touched
on the shoulder while cleaning a classroom, only to turn around and find no one. She also said she was cleaning one of the ballet rooms and, slipping from her
stepladder and falling backwards, was caught by an unknown force and set down gently, unharmed. In the basement, where an empty pool sits, workers are sure they've heard splashing.

In the fields at the edge of this small beach town, stands an old abandoned farmhouse overlooking the water. People say that a large mansion once accompanied the farmhouse. The
residents of the mansion were very wealthy and many people were jealous of them. One man went to the extreme and caught their house on fire. The entire house was
destroyed, but the family was able to escape to the farmhouse in time. The police came to investigate, but feared the people of Silver Beach would move if they heard
about the arson. The police simply said that there was a tragic fire and the family had died. They even went as far as to say the field could be
used for children to play. The suspect was never found, and the family continued to live secretly in the farmhouse. In 1950, ten years after the fire, the suspect who
set the fire returned. He murdered the entire family the night before Halloween by stabbing them to death. The next evening, a group of teenagers came to the field to
hang out. The young daughter, who had been able to escape the murderer, was going crazy looking for her family. The teens watched in horror as she ran to the
water and dived in. She drowned instantly, since she was unable to swim. They reported the incident to the police. They searched everywhere but the girl was never found. The
only description the teenagers could give of the girl was that she had strawberry colored hair. Every Halloween since the incident, the girl's ghost can be seen frantically searching for
her family and the murderer.

A husband & wife who were archaeologists, went on a dig at Grand Island in the early 1970s through SUNY Buffalo. First, they said there was a terrible vibe between
the people on the team, who were normally good friends. People were making bad decisions and snapping at each other and acting completely unlike themselves. Then, when everyone sat down
for lunch, they all heard growls coming from the surrounding woods. The couples were experienced with life outdoors even then and they both said it was not the growl of
any animal native to western NY. The growling seemed to surround them and things rustled in the trees. They all packed up and left. My parents told me that there

boys were arrested and convicted for killing the firefighter. Not long after, people reported seeing a glowing figure running along the track. Others have seen the body of a man
laying on the track then dissappearing, all in the same spot he was shot, the northeast corner of lane 5. Most people won't go over to the northeast bleachers because

victims as well as the princess are said to still haunt the lake and It's surrounding area.
Mary's Grave - She murdered her two children and her husband. Her gravesite is a center for strange happenings. Her marker has her birth date but no death date. -
December 2003 Update: There is a different variation on that story that seems to be the most heard of around there. Supposedly Mary was the daughter of a rich land
owner that owned that area and formed the town there. He was a loner and built his house way out from the town. He also had a son. She had
no friends and her father built her a stone club house on the property for her to play. She liked animals and wuld play with them in her stone clubhouse.
Supposedly she was possessed by a spirit and started mutilating the animals on a stone table in her clubhouse. Later on she killed her father and her brother with an
axe. After the some time the townspeople went to see what had happened the the land owner and found her sleeping in her fathers bed with him covered in blood.
They hung her on a tree on the property. The tree is there on the side of the road. It always looks dead all year long. The burn marks from
her rope are on the tree branch. Up the hill is the house. You can see a figure sitting in the window looking down on the road. Now that part
of the house is supposed to be blocked off. Her stone clubhouse is on the road just a bit further up. The way it went was back in the 60's
and 70's you were the big tough guy if you went up to Mary's grave and urinated on it. They say whoever did would get into a car accident on
the way back swerving to avoid hitting a girl in a white dress. The gravesite has been lost or nobody really remembers where it is, but all the other things
are there.

the surrounding city folk because they know of him, and his past. Neighbors won't go near his old house, because he's said to still live in the basement. Every once

was unable to stop in time to avoid hitting her. (If you travel this length of the road you will see there is no shoulder.)Her body was knocked into the
swamp. Whether the incident was reported to the police is still under debate, however her body was never recovered. Persons who have traveled "Seven Bridges" have reported seeing a haze
appear just outside their headlights, when your vehicle "catches up to" the entity it appears as a figure of a woman in a jogging outfit. She will jog down the
road in front of your vehicle for about fifty feet, before she turns to face you, and you literally "hit" her. Some have had her vanish on their hoods while
others say they have seen her head appear in their vehicles and look at the driver before disappearing. Reports also say if you go down this same length during the
day vehicles(which are stopped) may not start up after being shut down. And that she is trying to stop people so that her body may be put to it's "proper
rest". You could not mistake this pert of Jay road, on the brightest sunny summer day it's cold, dark and always extremely quiet. - February 2004 correction: The stop
sign on the corner of Seven Bridges and Jay Road appears to be bleeding. When you are far away the blood seems to be dripping, but then as you approach
the stop sign it disappears. If you step out of your car and look at it, there is nothing there.

The story goes... There is a rather large building, in which is now know Plum Point condo's, in Newburgh NY that used to be a all boys Christian school. One
of the nun's molested the boy & killed him then put his body in the wall and covered it up well (being there was already construction going on inside it
was a good cover-up, he was just reported missing) Then about a year later strange things would happen that drove the school to shut down. For about 10 or more
years now they have been trying to make it into an apartment complex because there are condo's all around it, and every time someone goes in there to work, a
hand was cut off by machinery, the machinery would break for no apparent reason, etc.. And many people have said they have seen the boy. - October 2005 Correction: The
above submission is the "popular word about town" regarding the information on our site, however, most of it is not true. Unfortunately, this same description regarding Plum Point on many
websites. Probably cutting and pasting from this site. A visitor to our site reports the following: "Before the condos went in, there was a large mansion (complete with detached servant's
quarters.) It was originally constructed for a family who met an untimely death. The mansion then became a home for wayward girls for many years and eventually an orphanage of
sorts, accepting children who were not only parentless, but had no where to run. This is where the rumors of the molestation occurrence sprouts from. The molestation may be true,
but in all my research and hearing of rumors, I have never heard a report of anyone being buried in the walls.

The small city library in Cornell is a location that triggers unease in most any one that enters it. As far as the history of the building, the basement, where
the restroom is, used to be a jail during the earlier duration of Cornell's existace. The entire building has a heavy sort of a feeling to it, but it is
the basement in particular that makes all who step down there to visit the restroom uneasy. Some librarians working there would not go down to the basement to the restroom
the entire time they worked there because of the uncomfortable feeling that overwhelms visitors to the basement. The entire basement area has had virtually no remodeling and is for lack
of better description "rugged". To my knowledge there has been no sightings of any kind, just the feeling of an overbearing presence of some kind.

The home was originally owned by the Townsend family. The house was used as a base for the British during the Revolutionary War. John Andre was a British Major during
the war and visited often. One day Townsend's daughter overheard Andre and John Simcoe (Commander of British Forces) talking about a payment to Benedict Arnold to surrender his troops. The
Townsends relayed this information to George Washington. Benedict Arnold escaped, but Andre was captured and hanged. His ghost was first reported here in the 1930s when he was seen on
horseback outside a bedroom window. John Andre isn't the only ghost here. Sally Townsend, allegedly John Simcoe's lover is said to still haunt the house. Her former bedroom is always
cold, even in the summer the curator wears a warm wool vest in that room! Paranormal investigators have said that whatever is in that room is not happy. In October
of 1999 a volunteer was working on the property when the garden door opened and a man came out wearing a dark wool coat with brass buttons. First it was
strange to see someone wearing that clothing, second the building was locked, and third the alarms were all on! In march another worker saw the same ghost materialize by the
staircase. Once with the bottom half of his body missing, and then again full-figure. The ghost is believed to be Michael Conlin, an Irish immigrant who worked as a servant
in the 1860's. In the upstairs of the former servants quarters moving shadows have been seen when no one else is in the house. In that same area the smell
of roses has mysteriously been sensed. The spirit of a servant woman has materialized and walked into the kitchen. In that kitchen the smell of apple pie has also been
present when ghosts want to make themselves known. The submitter was extremely privileged when they smelled the strong scent of cinnamon-apple on their way down the stairs near the kitchen.
When they got down to the bottom of the stairs they could smell the strong scent of something like cinnamon rolls or apple pie! Another area that is said to
produce some interesting smells is the front foyer. The smell of a non-existent stove has been sensed there as well as the faint smell of a smoking pipe. At one
time this was the kitchen area. The former museum director Andrew Batten says he has sensed at least 5 different entities and something in Sally Townsend's room.

James Pike, Rector at the time, scared the ghost away from the sanctuary by bringing his dog into the church. After that, Alexander remained quiet for a while. In the

Students have reported sightings of an outline of a ghostly figure when walking down the stairs near the chapel late at night. Students have also reported things being moved in
their rooms as well as lights, radios, TV’s, etc. Being turned on and off when no one else was around. Many strange things have occurred over the years that students
have sworn was done by good ol' Sister Sixtoes.
In the 1850's white lumbermen were welcomed by the Indians and their chief. Some time later his daughter Jenny, for whom the settlement was named for died. On how she
died is speculation. One account says she fell in love with one of the lumberman, became pregnant and killed herself. Another is, she died during child birth. Another is she
died from flu brought by the white man. The chief buried her on the hill, and cursed the ground that it would never do any white man any good. The
curse is the legend. Nine people died after T.B. Scott bought the land for a home in 1884 and died unexpectedly in 1886 before the house was finished. Within a
year his wife Ann died. Their son Walter went to see the architect to finish the house. He was stabbed to death by him. In 1893 it was sold to
a man named Kuechle. He lost all his money on a gold mine and mortgaged the house to Tony Barsanti. Tony foreclosed and Kuechle went insane and died in an
asylum. The same year Barsanti was stabbed to death in Chicago while waiting for a train to Merrill. In 1901, George Gibson bought the house and went to inspect it.
He was never seen again. In 1906, Mary Fellhaber bought the property. Soon after fell ill and died. Popcorn Dan was the caretaker and died in 1912 after booking passage
on the Titanic.The next caretaker Mr. Lloydsen died of alcoholism. In 1919 the widower of M. Fellhaber gave the property to the city. In 1923 the city gave it to
the Sisters of the Holy Cross who have seemed to break the curse for now. Rumors of ghost sightings in the tower.

In rooms 145-148 there are two ghostly figures of old teachers that are seen. They died when the school caught fire in the 60's. If you sit in any desks
one of the women will walk past you and give you an evil look. You’ll feel very disoriented and uncomfortable. If you look at the chalkboard you'll see that the
names of all the children these two punished are writing there. You can't erase them. Also, if you were to sit in the Auditorium that was just built, you will
hear the curtains open slightly and then fall to the floor.
If you drive past Bell Middle School , you might see on the lawn of the school, a man walking with a black book bag. Whenever a car passes by
and if the man hears the car, he'll stop, look on the side and down to the grass. Then, he'll continue walking. To recognize him, look for his dark black
shirt, and his dark blue jeans. He has no shoes, or feet, just legs. He's totally bald and comes out after 9:00 usually. If you're lucky, he might be walking
on the playground and he'll look up, then continue walking. One more thing - good luck finding him and report back if you spot him!

on their own, locked doors will swing open, and random objects will be pushed off desks onto the floor. On 2 west you can hear running up and down the

The art center is a house that was built during the depression. Her and her husband were extremely wealthy, and owned most of Oshkosh. They owned the larger factories, and
paid their employees with, vouchers to purchase goods at stores the couple owned. Basically keeping all the money under their tight control. When the people of Oshkosh learned of the
Paine center being built, they threatened the couple that if they ever moved into it, the people of Oshkosh would kill them. The couple feared the people of Oshkosh. And
never did move it. In fact NO one has ever lived in the Paine Fine Art Center. Mr. Paine did pass on first, and Mrs. Paine did out live him.

are allowed in the center now, but Mrs. Paine is no longer alive. It's said that you can see the woman roaming the house during tours. The couple has also

seven years ago. We ourselves have witnessed apparitions and poltergeist-like activities with customers present--margarita glasses flying horizontally off a glass rack before crashing to the floor, beer tapers all turning
on at once with no one nearby, blender turning on by itself and then off by itself just as the bartender is reaching to turn it off, bell in the
kitchen ringing while no one is in the kitchen, footsteps heard to the upstairs followed by an apparition of a previous regular who is no longer living, etc. This establishment
was erected in the 1920's and was a known Speakeasy and place for the Chicago "bosses" to wait while barrels of whiskey were hauled by horse and wagon from their
still to Highway 164 at the top of the hill for shipment to Chicago. These walls do talk! The goings-on seem playful in nature but still frightening especially if one
is spending the night here alone.

Strange mists and fogs hover above this sinister cemetery. In the late 1800's, a doctor who performed abortions is said to have buried the fetuses of aborted babies in a
shallow grave of about 2 feet. He is also believed to have buried some of the unlucky mothers who did not survive the abortion. Dogs started bringing home bones around
that time period, and body parts would be caught on fishing lines in the nearby pond. Babies have even been reported crawling around at night. At the tree where the
doctor hanged himself on top of the hill, you can sometimes see an apparition. - February 2007 Correction: The crawling babies has not be witnessed by the investigator submitting the
correction. The fog does seem to hit this particular cemetery in a off way. People claim they hit a large black dog, and it does significant damage to their vehicles
but no animal is ever found. a large black dog running on the above hill has been seen many times. It is believed this is not a living creature. Also
the pond that is behind and to the right a bit from the cemetery was not where they had trouble with most of the bones and body parts. It was
an extension stream that leads into the neighboring creek that most of the problems occurred. There is also a man who strolls up and down the road daily in 1920's
attire, combing his hair. Warning:The cemetery has been badly vandalized and there isn't a single stone that isn't in pieces. Police patrol it pretty steadily.

12:00.

is the site of many frightening sightings. Several people walking through the park at dusk of later have reported feeling watched, the hairs on the backs of their necks standing
up. Looking into the large picture window on the second floor, many have seen a woman in white staring down at them. The sound of coughing can also frequently be
heard--undoubtedly the spirits of TB victims still coughing up blood and mucus.
A mass of unmarked graves can be found in the Milwaukee County Grounds next to the soccer field. These graves belonged to the victims of TB and the residents of

It has been told that before the property became a campsite for children and teenagers for summer vacations, the lot was owned by a farmer and his wife. It is
known that the farmer went crazy when he found out that the wife was pregnant, so he drowned her in the lake, and the farmer was never seen again. Recently,
two counselors from the campsite went to check on a missing camper out in the woods at night, and ran into what was an extremely bright light where they describe
that they "couldn't see a thing." They said they had no choice, but to turn around because the light was blinding, and as they turned around they saw a woman
run away from them. The counselors start running in a different direction...a direction that lead to the only tent on the campsite, but when they started running for the tent,
they realized they couldn't find it. So, they both turned around to look and see where exactly they were when they noticed that the tent was in fact right behind
them...the weird thing about this is, is that in order to end up in front of the tent, you have to cross a road, which the counselors themselves told me
they "Never, ever crossed." One counselor said "We were running and running as fast as we could, and then we found ourselves in front of the tent which is impossible
unless you cross the road...which we did not." Strange indeed, and it has been told that investigators had found the pregnant farmer's wife in the lake, and buried her underneath
the campground. Still today, the lady remains underneath the site in body, but in soul she remains on earth. Watch out carefully for her as you visit this site.
The area directly above the bar upstairs is haunted by a past resident, who is believed to be named Molly. She opens and closes doors and plays with appliances while
people are cooking in the upstairs kitchen. However, she does not seem threatening. The bar area has seen much supernatural activity too. Human forms in turn of the century clothing
have materialized in mirrors, sometimes appearing to be walking along the bar toward the exit door. A strange voice has even been heard numerous times near the stage area. In
the cellar, unusual cold spots are apparent, as well as kegs of beer being moved around. Employees have been known to experience feelings of nausea while in the cellar, as
well as sudden anxiety. All of these events seem to take place sometime after 3:00 AM.

Downstairs in the Shanghai room. In the 1950's this room was used as a bar in which individuals would laugh, drink, and gamble. A female bartender was stabbed to death

Just north of town is a small graveyard with an even smaller graveyard fenced off toward the back. It is said that when the Gypsy wagon trains would pass through
town back in the 1800's, and one of their flock was sick and dying, instead of taking them further on the journey and not having Gypsy hollowed ground to bury
them in they would just bury them there, while still alive. Many ghostly figures have been seen hanging around, and if you cross the small fence and walk on the
hollowed ground you will be cursed. This is a favorite haunt for the local teens.
Back in the far corner there has been a little boy said to be playing near the waters edge legend has it that the little boy was running back to
the river on the other side of the pits when he tripped on a stone and was stabbed by a stick he had fallen on. The local fisherman who use
to fish their say they have seen this boy walking on the bank of the pit when they yelled to him he seemed to have looked up and ran back
towards the river and disappear nobody knows what this boys name is or even his age.

never stops.
C. Y. Stephens Auditorium - The auditorium is haunted by the benevolent ghost of C. Y. Stephens. He is especially present in the basement tunnels that run between the auditorium
and the coliseum and Fisher Building. Cold drafts and footsteps are among the ways he makes himself known. He can also be seen from the stage sitting in the back
right corner of the third balcony whenever the house lights are on and the stage lights are low. His presence is thought of, at least by dancers in the annual
Nutcracker production, to be a sign of good luck for the performance.
Memorial Union Hall - pays tribute to graduates of Iowa State that died in various wars. There is a low, eerie moan that can constantly be heard in this hall.

of the only woman to graduate from ISU and die in WWI.

big storage room aka "bowling alley" you can hear moans and see shadows when nothing is there.

Kate Shelly was famous for saving a train from going off of the tracks on the bridge that is now known as the Kate Shelly high bridge. It is said
that if you look up at the tracks (bridge) at night you can see a mysterious outline of a person and a dim light like a lantern running on the
tracks. People around here say that it's Kate forever reliving the incident that saved a train and lots of people. - September 2004 CORRECTION: located west of the City of
Boone, is not the bridge where Kate Shelley saved the passenger train. It was actually first structured in early 1900's and was named "The Boone Viaduct". It was renamed for
Kate Shelley in the 1960's. The bridge has wonderful tales of "Specter" Steam Engines and ghostly "watchmen" that walk it. The original bridge that Kate Shelley crossed was demolished in
the 1930's. Kate Shelley's ghost, accordingly, haunts the hamlet of Moingona, Iowa, South West of City of Boone, where the story took place.

years ago. The home has several structural issues to it, including a collapsing floor. In regards to haunting and "things", yes, there's something to it. A lot of people suffered
there, and the sadness of that place can be felt today.

up them one after another. The door in one of the rooms open on its own, but it jams shut.
Reportedly there are doors that won't stay shut and that slam shut by themselves. People working there late at night have heard sounds of Horses and footsteps when there is
no one there. A witness saw a reflection of a face of a man with a handle bar mustache in a computer screen and turned around to find no one
there.

Lawther Hall - Was believed to be haunted by the spirit of a soldier named Augie, who died there when the building was being used as an infirmary.
Students in this residential hall have reported strange noises, cold spots, and movement of objects. Lawther Hall has always been a women's dorm, and at no time was it ever
used as an infirmary. During the war it was used partially as a dormitory for WAVES- definitely not men. In fact, the stories told of Augie center largely around the
fifth (or perhaps fourth) floor attic areas. These were never used as rooms, but were originally recreational areas for the women in the dorm. In the early 70's, these rooms
were closed (1972, I believe) because they were deemed in disrepair and quite unsafe. For a few years, a hall Halloween Haunted House called "Augie's Attic" was held there until
a fire started accidentally one year, and the activity was banned. In fact, to say that Lawther is the dorm that is primarily haunted could be entirely incorrect. Next door
to Lawther, in fact attached to, is Bartlett Hall. Bartlett has an identical layout, and though is now coed, was once all female as well. To suggest that the two
have been confused is not unlikely.
Bartlett Hall - Bartlett shows all signs of being haunted. This past Halloween, a "not exactly prohibited but very extremely hush hush" haunted house was held in the attics
of Bartlett. Whilst setting up, students underwent lights flickering, doors shutting, and vast temperature changes. It got to the point that they were ready to stop bothering with their set
up; simply take money and usher people through the rooms. However, to their great disappointment, subsequent trips have yielded nothing in comparison to October 30th.
The Strayer-Wood Theatre - is haunted by a ghost known affectionately by the theatre students as "Zelda", who apparently haunted the old theatre building before moving with the department into
the new structure. Many theatre students have reported strange noises, including mysterious piano music (when no one else was in the building), and equipment has mysteriously worked by itself.
A glowing entity has been seen in the library of this building.
There have been reports that a ghost named "Helen" haunts the place. She died of influenza in the epidemic of 1918 and her parents donated a grandfather clock, which used
to be in her dorm. Students say sometimes at night the her spirit leaves the clock, plays the piano in the parlor and stands by kids beds and pulls covers
off of them.

late at night in wildwood apartments.
In these woods behind the old white farm there have been sightings of a little girl dressed in white, also various girls have been heard. Around Halloween you can hear
faintly a chanting that is something like this, "ring around the rosy..." and "wanna come burn with me". Around 1920 there was a train car full of orphans that burned
down on the railroad tracks that run through there. a burned rag doll has been found. They say it is there graveyard yet no family ties have been found.

and a few people have been attacked or approached by figures that refused to step into light. An Indian has also been seen out there, it is a place that
you feel someone is watching you at all times. Being by the mausoleum is probably the best place to see or hear things or along the river bank.

at the seats where the customers would sit. And he saw one seat about 3-4 rows from the front and 2 seats in rocking slowly all by itself. There are
other stories to be told of the hauntings there, but all you need to do...is come, and visit with the staff at the American Theatre.

it will be gone. you go back to the house and go up stairs and you will see it right where you got it. In the pic is a black
figure. He is called George and you shouldn't let him touch you because it is said that after he dose he takes part of you with him. How we know
is about this one of the boys got touch and went crazy and is gone for the rest of his life in a asylum and the other still see George
even though the house is gone!

is that General Dodge is still there wandering around or sitting in his rocking chair. Around dusk everyday, you can hear 2 men arguing if you stand in the middle
of the street. Late at night you can see small flashes of light around the dodge house lawn, and get a very faint smell of fire. Dodge's wife died and
in her remembrance they made a statue of her and put it in the front of the cemetery. The statue is known as The Dark Angel. Her eyes follow you
no matter what direction you go. Whoever is "blessed" by here is on the sickly side from then on.
Feelings of getting sick, major emotions and disorientation are felt.
This is the old Council Bluffs library, which has now been restored to a wonderful looking and brand new Union Pacific railroad museum. Before the renovation occurred, many people were
hesitant to venture into the basement of this Carneige structure due to books literally flying off the shelves. Many experienced items mysteriously disappearing, only to have them return later. Also,
some have reported dark-shadowy figures being seen in the basement. Not too many folks want to go into this basement alone.
It is said to be that the Dakota City Historical Museum is to be haunted at night. Some nights you can drive by it and see shadows, and lights going
on and off in the windows. An old lady gives tours there in the summer and says that it could be haunted by the founders of Humboldt County or by
the famous wrestler Gotch. - December 2003 update/addition: The submitter to the addition has heard of a fisherman walking around there, possibly he is there because the Des Moines river
is right next to the museum and there is a story of a fisherman drowning to death there many years ago. Another story that is true is that if you
walk up to the front sign of the museum and ask it any question it will move to the right-meaning yes or it will move to the left-meaning no. please
note it is a hanging sign on hinges. Some people might think it is the wind doing this but it only happens on calm nights when there is no wind
or gusts at all. There is a lot of history at the museum.
There has been many circumstances of seeing a lady roaming the halls wearing a red or blue evening gown. There has also been instances of pianos playing in the main

of soon to be chiropractors.
Bell Tower - When the station was first built the guards used to hang prisoners in the bell tower so no one could hear or see what they were doing.

City Hall - A heavyset man reportedly sits in the city council chamber. They call him Hal. The legend of Hal goes like this. Hal was a citizen who was

attended every city meeting that was held in the chamber until he died of a heart attack at 63. Hal has been seen at least 100 times. He also has
been said to walk around city hall, and former mayors have said they have seen them in their office on more than one occasion. Often times Hal is smoking a
cigar.

It's the only extant log church in Iowa now. There is a graveyard to the right of the church. Rumors are that is a hot spot for seeing UFOs, but
other things have gone on there too--Black Mass has been held in the abandoned church; evidence has been left behind, like inverted pentagrams in red paint or blood on the
floor. I've been there and there is a positively suffocating force there--it's like you can't breathe and you get the impression there are tons of eyes watching you. Very creepy!
And, just down the hill from the church is Crybaby Bridge, where at midnight if you turn off your car on the bridge, you can hear the sounds of babies
and small children crying.
Larsen Hall - The ghost's name is Gertrude. She has been known to open and close doors in rapid succession and move pencils and other small objects when students aren't

Supposedly you can see people in the upstairs part of the house, standing in the windows.?
Be hind the bowling alley lanes there is an upstairs that is rumored to have been used to be used for illegal gambling in the 1920's. Well if you go
up stairs, down the hallway, and into this room up there and wait a few minutes you can hear noises. Some of them are alot of people talking, or you
can hear dice rolling. you could hear your name being called.
The Cloud Room - In offices that were originally a restaurant named the Cloud Room during the 60's and 70's. Supposedly haunted by a deceased young flight attendant who materializes

late when the offices are quiet. Many cold spots and unexplained noises in and outside the Cloud Room.
The Farmer - Construction began in 1932 over family farmland on the south side of the city that was owned by a family (buried in a small, private cemetary

there is nothing that could cause it. There is no air conditioning in the school. There have also been unexplained noises such as tapping on the wooden floor of the
stage, and banging on the seats in the balcony. If you go into the Paint Room, which is located in one of the wings of the stage, you get the
feeling of someone watching you, and running their fingers up and down your back.
There has been seen a glowing blue light in a restroom there. The light flashed right behind two students who witnessed it in the mirror and disappeared before they could
turn around. Before the flash there was a spark of electricity on the faucet when one of the students reached for it. This school is over 150 years old and
there are at least 4 deaths.
Was an old Cavalry armory. It is now the city school bus barn. When the National Guard was in the building soldiers who worked full time and were in there
after hours reported hearing the clip clop of horses hooves and the jingle of harnesses off the small drill floor where the stables were. They also would catch glimpses of
an older man dressed in an old cavalry uniform in the long back hall that only had a small light bulb at each end of it. They were not fanciful
people who seen and heard these things. They were hardworking soldiers with their heads on straight who would never in a million years make up things like that.
Merle Hay Mall Tower - Merle Hay Mall, and a building in the mall known as the Merle Hay Tower, is built over the site of a Monastery that was
closed in the 1950's. Rumor has it that on occasion a nun would become pregnant, with the pregnancy resulting in mis-carriage. These babies were buried in unmarked graves on the
Monastery grounds, where the mall stands today. My grandfather used to drive an ice cream truck, and would deliver to the Monastery, and witnessed one of the nuns nursing (feeding)
an infant in the kitchen of the Monastery. In present day, the Merle Hay Tower is said to be haunted by a figure wearing a very old style habit, who
cries as she carries a dead child. People who have offices in the Tower report an elevator that moves between floors with no one aboard late at night. When the
elevator stops, footsteps can be heard, but when the sounds are investigated, no one is around. Cold spots are frequent and a feeling of being watched when alone is also
reported. Others report hearing someone walk into an office and when they turn around, no one is there.

Many people have reported him walking in the same direction, and he has been seen only from the back. On the fourth floor, in the northwest hallway, there is a
well dressed woman, wearing a dress, fur and high heels that appears near the center of the building and walks north, turns to the right and goes in the last
doorway.? Her style of dress suggests she is from the 1920s or 1930s.? Some people report that she opens the door and enters the last office, even though the door
is locked.?
voices , footsteps and apparitions are present here.
This building is said to be one of the most haunted places in Dubuque. It was once a large private residence, but is now a museum. People have experienced classic

point him/her in the direction of the norms house. The second floor east room is a cross roads. The straight point in front lawn (most east north) has been used

There once was a motel on this sight. The people that ran the motel lived in a house across the road for a while, then the motel was demolished but
the drive way is still there. Sometimes an old man in a plaid shirt and chino slacks walks along the old drive way and stops 5 or 6 times like
he is checking doors. The house across the street where the people lived was still standing in 2002 and they were renovating it.
its a cemetery and there is this hill that is haunted. The story is that a car full of football players were going to their game and their car stalled
on this very hill. So they all got out and started to push the car up this hill then a car came around this bend and didn?t see the football
players and hit them. All of the players died. People say that if you put your car in neutral between these 2 markers you will go uphill because the football
players push you up the hill because they don?t want you to get hit by another car. Another story is that two children who lived in the nearby mansion were
playing in the road when they were run over and killed. When your car moves, it is the children pushing it off of them. Anyway, the going up hill sensation
is caused by an optical illusion. For this to work, you must be headed downhill. In the place where you stop, the road levels off and appears to go up
in comparison to the rest of the road. If you go down the hill and around the curve and look back, you will realize that the entire road does indeed
go down hill.

Located a block down the hill from the former Iowa Institution for Feeble Minded Children along the original banks of Keg Creek (where I've dug up several Indian artifacts while
gardening). Mostly its been the typical kitchen cabinets opening and shutting for no reason along with cold spots and the feeling of an unseen presence. Its an old small house
I bought a few years ago that was built before 1880. If I tell whatever-it-is to knock it off and go away things seem to calm down for awhile.

named "The Devil's Chair" it is said if you sit in it something bad will happen to you. My neighbor sat in it one night and two days later discovered
he needed to have open heart surgery. Don't sit in this chair or you'll be sorry but if you do sit in it you're very brave, good for you!!!

to haunt the building at night, walking around the building. a man who spent the night in one of the cells, said he saw it, but that it was a
man hanging from a rope that went up into the ceiling. He isn't a very credible person though.

at midnight.
Reports of a glowing shape walking through the cemetery, believed to be the spirit of the Black Angel. She is also said to watch people and strange lights in connection
with this statue. In there with the Black Angel is a small statue of a girl that is set up on a column. If you walk under her and around
her she will pick out someone in your group and stare at them until they leave. Also the closer you get to the little girl statue the warmer it gets.
The farther you get the colder it gets.
Currier Hall - According to rumor, a triple suicide occurred on the fourth floor when three dorm mates found themselves to be in love with the same man. They reappear
to bickering roommates in order to promote friendship and harmony. There has also been a sighting of an older man on the E300's section of the building. This stern-faced man
is the father of a former tenant of Currier Hall.

A few miles south of Lake City, there is an old bow-string bridge, which is blocked off from traffic and cannot be driven on. If you walk out on the
bridge at midnight, lay an unopened candy bar on the middle of the bridge and go back off the bridge and wait for 5 minutes in the dark, when you
go back for it, the wrapper will be unopened and intact, but the chocolate is gone. - October 2003 Update: visitors to our web site tried this and report it

Tedrow is a small cemetery in the country. In the daytime, there is a tree that contains an evil face. But at night, the spirits frequently make themselves known. It
is not the cemetery but it is the woods that surrounds the cemetery that is haunted. Apparently about fifty to a hundred years ago, a small cult came the cemetery
and did ceremonies. Now whenever you drive at night into the cemetery, you may enter but you may not be able to get out. The reason for this is because
there is a glowing object in the woods and if this glowing object gets too close to you, you will not be able to start your car. But in order
to witness the strange happenings you need to have your car turned off and lights turned off. You can have a flashlight with you but that is it. While you
are in complete silence and complete darkness, something might run passed you several times and when you look nothing will be there. Sometimes you might hear moaning in the woods,
sometimes you will hear what sounds like somebody pounding a metal sheet against a tree. Sometimes you will see a dark figure staring at you from a tree. And if
you are really lucky, you will witness the strangest and scariest experience that you ever had. At times you might wait for a good five or ten minutes and nothing
will seem to happen, but when you have given up all hope and decide to leave, all at once there will sound like a herd of elephants are all around
you and make the loudest racket. You are guaranteed to jump in your car and take off, but that is just the beginning. If you leave your window open, while
your driving, you will hear the object following you until you have reached the end of the pathway leading to the cemetery. Also the weather is completely different there, it
could be a hot day and when you reach the cemetery, it will be cold. And it could be the clearest day and when you reach the cemetery it will
begin to rain. And there could be no wind at all and when you reach the cemetery there will be ten to twenty mile an hour winds. - Fair WARNING
? As with all other haunted places, you need to get permission before going in to a cemetery late at night. There may be NO TRESPASSING and you could be
fined. Be smart and be safe, do it the legal way.
Supposedly years ago a girl hung herself from the bridge on her birthday if you go out there at night you can see her and on her birthday see her

This building used to be a Mental hospital and was built in the middle 1800s. It consists of an old stone center building with newer brick wings extending off the
center to the east and west. Before it was converted to a prison in the 1980s a former worker on the 11pm to 7am shift on the top floor in
the middle ward on the east wing. There were Offices and group rooms in the ward to the west of ours and the ward to the east was "empty". When
they first started working that unit quite a few of the coworkers asked them things like, ?aren't you afraid to work on that unit its so creepy up there and
have you ever seen anything up there.? Not understanding their questions until one night when a terrible racket began on the empty unit. The only way it can be described
is the sound of heavy metal furniture being dragged across the floor and slammed into the connecting door and wall. It shook the walls and actually woke up the patients
on a few occasions. When it was searched the "empty" unit was always empty and looked like nobody had been in there for years. Apparitions have been seen in the
halls.
If you walk down the center of the cemetery you will hear the sound of footsteps running at you but when you turn to look at the direction the noise
is coming from you will see nothing. A strong feeling of being watched and followed is felt. Even reports of a strange scream that seems to come from the other
side of the cemetery but can hurt your ears at the same time.
The Blue Angel - is a statue in the Greenwood Cemetery who used to hold a rose and if the person looking at the angel, if she dropped the rose,
you were doomed to death. Eventually some people cut off her hand so that she wouldn't be able to hurt anyone anymore, but at night time her hand was still
there, glowing in the night holding the rose that she might drop on you. When approaching the angel you will see the sky turn blood red and when you look
at the trees cause the angel is set back all by itself in a cove, the short side of the trees will be swaying and the tall side will not.
- March 2007 Background Information: The Blue Angel is made of an ebony white gypsum. In the sides of the mausoleum in which she is housed are two cobalt blue
stained glass windows. One to the east and one to the west. Each morning as the new dawn emerges and each night as the day ends the sun shines thru
the windows bathing her in a luminescent glow turning her white figure blue. During the 50's stories of the blue angel were all of a benevolent nature. She was the
protector, the guardian angel of the cemetery, protecting all within from any vandals or wrong doers. It is very sad the current stories of any evil associated with her.

older employees would always talk of "Rodriguez". He was one of 2 resident ghosts in the building. There was actually a building electrician that died in the late 50's by
the name of Rodriguez. In those days they had to manually lubricate high-powered electrical connections before they would have a show. Rodriguez as the building electrician was responsible for this.
One day before a show he turned of the power to the electrical junction so he could perform his duty. He told another employee that he would be done in
10 minutes and that the other employee could then turn the power back one. Well the other employee waited the 10 minutes and turned on the power. 2 hours later
Rodriguez wife showed up with a new suit for him because it was his birthday. They searched the building and found him dead by the electrical box electrocuted. He haunts
the building to this day with flickering lights and lights turning on when they?re not supposed to as well as just a general coldness in the area of his death.

bottom a roof exhaust that was meant for a boiler that was never installed. The total fall was over 150 feet, And the shaft was hastily completed with many sharp
edges and exposed rebar jutting into it. It was not a pretty sight. He frequents the roof doors and the bottom of the shaft. When you enter the roof you

area and even through the banter of the HVAC system you can hear faint crying.

was the first white woman killed in Webster County. She was buried there. Over fifty small children are buried there along with many soldiers. If you go there at night,
you can hear children laughing and the sound of Indians. If you roll down the hill three times, you will see the stairway to heaven. Also, legend has it if
you desecrate and Indian mound, you will be cursed. I have known two men to have done so, and they were involved in serious car accidents within a week of

her there, presumably above her grave.

the house and heir to the Welch fortune. John is very sneaky and likes to play around with peoples' minds. He is quite protective of the place and of the
actors who frequent the stage. Another ghost, not quite as active, is known as Molly Welch. She was John's youngest daughter who died of pneumonia in 1840 around the age
of eight. She is very shy, but sometimes when an actor is standing on stage, she can be seen sitting in the front row of the balcony.
On the bank of the Kanawaha River, at the train depot, just at the bottom of the exclusive South Hills mountain drive, the Charleston Train Depot rivals any 19th century
European Town Center. At the depot, flanked by the river on one side and a winding suburban mountain road also exists a carriage trail which led, in days gone by,
to the Governors Mansion. The depot has a restaurant and a scenic view. The old carriage trail is barely noticeable from the train platform, but driving up the hill on

In the early 1970's, two college students were hitchhiking for a ride back to their dorms on Evansdale Campus. Apparently, they were picked up in the downtown area and not
found again for months. Their decapitated bodies were later discovered near the lake, but the heads were no where to be found. The murderer and the case still remain a
mystery today. It is believed however, that the two girls roam the woods near the lake, searching for their heads. Many car accidents have been reported on Route 857 North
because of blurry apparitions of two girls running back and forth through the woods, distracting late night traffic.

distinct drop in temperature and gusts of wind. EFS reads 'Danger' as you reach the middle of the tunnel, and wind often tends to pick up. Also, throughout the tunnel,

One mile south of Parkersburg, is a small farming community called Marrtown that was settled by Scottish Immigrants in the mid 1800s. They came from an area of Scotland that
believed in many supernatural creatures, including witches, ghosts, elves, fairies and not the least of them, the Banshee. The Banshee is an Irish/Scottish death fairy who attaches herself to Scottish
and Irish clans. She sometimes rides a white horse and hangs out at waterways washing out the grave clothes of her dead. She is dressed in a death shroud and
other tattered rag and her eyes are blood red from crying for her Scottish dead. Thomas and Mary Marr survived the Civil War, but they lost a lot of property.
Thomas went to work on the toll bridge in Parkersburg that went over the little Kanawha River. He would always see a figure on a white horse whenever he came
home very early in the morning. On February 5th, 1873, Mary awakened with a feeling of dread. She got up and look out the window and saw someone very old
riding a white horse who was coming up to her front stoop. She went outside and saw it was an old woman whose eyes had an eerie glow. Finally, the
old woman screamed, "Mary Marr, Thomas Marr has just died. Say your prayers, Lady. I bid you will." Woman and horse instantly disappeared. Within the hour, a man who worked
with Thomas came to deliver the dreaded news. In fact, Thomas Marr did die -- he died in the icy waters of the little Kanawha River. Some say it was
an assailants bullet that brought him down, Others say it was the keening cry of his Scottish Banshee that wailed and startled him into falling and meeting his death in
the river below. Many still claim the Scottish Banshee still rides her horse on clear night and she still brings death to those of Irish or Scottish blood. Even to
this day, the Marr family is still visited by the Banshee's presence. It would be wise to stay away from Marrtown on cold, lonely, moonless nights.
If you walk from Weirwood to the Pax City Hall at night a orb starts to follow you. After that when you start running it gets in front of you
and is in front of you until you reach the bridge. Then it turns into a man (this man is headless). It is believed to be a man that got
his head cut off from the train. He follows you until you get to the bridge. Then he jumps off to the stream below and splashes mud and water on
you. Several people have witnessed this.

A monster or demon known as "the Bird-Man" or "the Moth-Man" has been spotted at various times by numerous people in this small town, usually in the vicinity of a
former TNT dump along the Ohio River, once maintained by the federal government. It has also been seen along roads around Point Pleasant. It is described as a man with
large wings; some witnesses have also said that it had horns and a tail, and big vicious teeth. Strangely, it is usually sighted several times in rapid succession, then followed
by some sort of catastrophe. For example, it was sighted before devastating floods, and before the collapse of a traffic-laden bridge crossing the Ohio River. Some say the creature is
the manifestation of a curse placed on the town by a Native American chief who was tortured to death in Point Pleasant by British troops during the French and Indian
War.

floor, and you could hear him dribbling his ball down the court.

as he comes down to greet you. When you walk up the stairs, you can hear him following you. You can hear talking behind several of the closed doors. Cold
spots can be felt. Doors sometimes open and shut. You can feel his presence behind you as he watches you go about your business. (My mom used to work here,
cleaning the rooms after guests stayed there. He would sometimes follow her, watch her, and sometimes play the piano while she was there.) Guests have reported odd happenings, but they
do not fear him. If you ask him nicely to leave you alone, he will go about his business.

Flinderation Tunnel - There was a train-wreck in Flinderation Rail-Road tunnel because some men were doing some work on the railroad and did not realize a train was coming, especially
not as fast as it was. One of the men could not get into one of the cubbyholes in time, and the train caught him, causing it to derail. The
railroad through this tunnel was shut down because people could hear train whistles and see the lights of an invisible train coming towards them. Then, the KKK also took victims
there to do lynching and such. This tunnel has a lot of hidden history. Today, it is part of the Rail-Trail, but the train whistle can still be heard along
with other various sounds: screaming, metal scraping on metal, sobbing.

of her death, but she has been seen in the third floor bathroom where she fell. - March 2007 Update/Correction: The homecoming queen who is said to haunt the area
did not slip in the shower. It happened in 1961 and she fell from a balance beam during gym. The doctor examined her, said she was fine and she returned
to the dorm. Consequently, she died in her sleep from an undiagnosed head injury. At one time, there was a plaque in the old gym, dedicated to her.

Miller Hall -was a Civil War hospital and many civil war ghosts are seen, also a nursing student who was supposedly failing, hung herself in the attic (which is now
locked), the staff says the attic was kept locked because the college was afraid that the students would hurt themselves on loose floorboards and/or damage the area, and as a
fire problem since students would go up there and smoke. - March 2007 Update/Correction: Miller Hall was NEVER a Civil War hospital. This dorm was built in 1915. It was
always a dormitory. Up to 1915, female students boarded with local residents and males lived at Ramsey Hall ( now under it's original name, The Entler Hotel.) The Entler was
used as a Civil War hospital and is now a museum. A girl was indeed found hanged in the attic of Miller Hall in the early 1950s.
Shaw Hall - Located behind Miller Hall. Behind Shaw Hall (and another dorm next to it) is the 'new' baseball field. Rumor has it there was a small cemetery there
that ran along the edge of the school property and houses that back to it. There is a woman in a long white nightgown with long, curly red hair that
stands at the windows at the ends of the dorm floors.... in both buildings. She just stands there, if you try to get close, she will disappear. No one knows
who she is or why she would be in either dorm. The rumor was that she was buried in that cemetery and there were no sightings of her until the
baseball field or both dorms were built. Somehow the construction disturbed her, for whatever reason.

or closes, and a chill presence.
Two experienced hunters have claimed to have encountered a strange beast in the mountains around Spencer, W.Va. On a winter hunting/camping excursion, they were awakened one night when the beast
wandered down the hillside and into their camp, making a blood-curdling, demonic growl. While debating as to who would go to get a gun out of their truck, the beast
moved on into the night unseen. Tracking at daybreak, they followed the beast's path through the brush, but soon lost the trail. They estimated by its tracks and the trail
it left that it was very large and probably walked on two feet. Many who heard the tale believed it to be untrue, until another person encountered the beast nearly
20 years later in the mountains just south of the hunters' camp.

to find she was nowhere to be found. Over the years, people have also seen the dark figure of a man lingering in the south parking lot. He would fade
away if approached. Recently, the Memorial Hospital building was reopened and is being used by non-profit agencies for storage and office space. People working in the building report seeing dark
figures and hearing unexplained bumps and groans at night.

are still going at each other today.

cold spots and hot spots. Though not particularly the most desirable place to spend eternity, it would seem that many apparitions could be seen there.

interesting aspect of the whole place though.

Curlew/Cascade Job corps. - a former student of Curlew Job corps has heard many of the same stories; how ever, they are set there on the Curlew campus. The tunnel
story for the Curlew campus is very likely true, for that campus was a S.A.C. radar compound before the corps took it over. The Dish is still up on top
of the hill lovingly referred to as "Radar hill". Cascade however, has always been a Job corps campus. Curlew is definitely haunted. Colville Native American Elders believe that the site
where the Curlew campus is in the heart of sacred land. Normally sacred land reacts badly to being tampered with, but the Job corps is a place where children go
to heal troubled hearts, pasts, and souls. This campus has a 98% success rate because the spirits there are helping where the staff cannot. - July 2005 Update/ Correction -
Cascade Job Corps is housed in what was originally Northern State Hospital for the Insane. The Hospital opened for business in 1912 and remained an insane asylum until I believe
right around 1970. Locally it is referred to simply as Northern State Mental Hospital. Hopefully we will get permission to post the experience in our Ghost Experiences Page In the

It is hidden off to the right hand side of the Redmond Duval Road. (20 miles East of Seattle.) It has about 35 grave sights and strange, unexplained things happen
there. People have seen women and children, dressed in old, raggedy looking close, wondering around the gravesites. Witnesses have also felt physical things like being hit.February 2005 additional information: There
used to be a staircase that began at ground level and descended 13 steps below ground. I believe the legend/story was that it was a below-grade entrance to the opulent
tomb of a locally wealthy family. In any case, kids used to get drunk near or in the cemetery and would walk down these steps late at night. It is
unsure whether there were doors or simply a dirt wall at the bottom of these steps. Regardless, once you reached the bottom of the stairs and turned around you supposedly
no longer saw the cemetery but a vision of Hell. The similarity in this story to yours is that this vision drove the subject to insanity. Anyone watching the subject
walk down the stairs witnessed them stop, turn, and fall dumbfounded to their knees. I’ve heard that several children emerged nearly comatose from the steps – many of them never
uttered another word. the story goes that these steps were bulldozed over (depending on the age of the storyteller, the bulldozing occurred anywhere from 1992 to the early 1960’s) and
that the severe NO TRESPASSING limitations were a result of that. Furthermore, There is rumor of illegal late night expeditions – kids with shovels hoping to unearth Maltby’s 13 Steps
to Hell. It is suggested independently researching this ‘tale.’ Either way, it’s a great story.

After the sun starts to set and housekeeping has left the basement and turned out the lights, an interesting show starts down there that is caught on the security camera.
(Unfortunately, there is no videotape capability for the security camera to catch these events on tape.) On several occasions a shadowy man dressed in a blue or gray janitor's suit
was seen to walk up and down the hallway. On other occasions there is the sound of someone noisily opening the washer or dryer although while observing via the camera,
it is obvious no one is there and the machines are not being moved. Various clanking and the sound of things being moved around happen about once a night, once
again with no one present in the basement. On a separate occasion a cloud of ectoplasm was seen to float across the top view of the camera in the basement,
followed by a thunking noise off to the right off camera (the direction the ectoplasm was headed). A final odd incident, a guest's young daughter had the knack of tricking
the elevator in to taking her down there -despite the supposed lock on the elevator to prevent such things- and was seen on one occasion holding a conversation with someone
who could not be seen, but was heard as a mumbling male voice. Upon inspection by the front desk, there was no one down in the basement, but they experienced
an uneasy feeling while retrieving the girl. The hotel has changed ownership twice since being built, so the identity of the gentleman in the basement is unknown. He was not
an employee of the current owners. It is thought that he was an elderly maintenance man that died and continues to return to his job despite the change in staff,
owners and a hotel name change.

to see the body but you can see the eyes because they have a subtle glow to it. Some sources say, if you stare at them for a while, you
can see a figure of a winged man.

A woman named Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard ran a sanitarium back in the early 1900's or so. Her theory was that any disease could be cured by fasting(going for weeks,
sometimes months, on end without food). It is said that she intentionally starved her "patients" (I prefer to refer to them as victims)to death and buried them on the sanitarium
grounds, planting a tree over each body, and when she ran out of room for bodies, she threw them off of the cliff on the back side of where the
building once stood. Her reason for killing the "patients" was out of greed: she had wills written up (some of them fake)that gave her full possession of her deceased "patients'"
money and valuables, causing her to gain a fortune by their deaths. All that stands of the sanitarium today is the foundation, and the incinerator in which she reportedly cremated
some of the bodies. And the trees that act as sinister headstones to the many nameless innocent people who fell victim to the woman's twisted, immoral and cruel scheme.

The Maryville Center For Medically Complex children was an institute for drug addicted, handicapped, insane, and foster children. It was mysteriously shut down, and boarded up for reason related to
asbestos. Located at Oak Park Rd. and Forest Preserve Rd. (Montrose ave.) in Chicago, you must park about a mile away and make the trip to the entrance on foot.
Once inside you must pass numerous buildings marked: A, B, C, etc. Follow the main concrete path and follow it off to the left until you see a run down
playground once used by the children who lived at the center. Go past the swing set and the 2nd slide you see and go between the two building before you.
All but one of the windows around you will be boarded up. The one window that is not boarded up leads into the indoor pool. A main hallway can be
reached through a room called the 'pool office'. From there you will find numerous stairwells that provide access to about 75% of the entire center. There are many reports of
people hearing the sounds of children laughing, and in some instances even seeing people in white robes walking around. Lots of paranormal activity takes place in this abandoned asylum. -

and full of bullet holes. After hearing the news, Bugs was heard to exclaim, "Only Capone kills guys like that!" In 1972, a man bought the factory and transformed it
into a 20's themed club. The brick wall the massacre took place on was dismantled and the factory was torn down. People still hear gunfire and screams coming from the
area. Supposedly, before it was torn down, seven shadowy figures were seen lined up on the wall and the viewer would be filled with fear.

or something very important to him. If you get out of your car and scream bloody murder into the night sky he will track you down and drag your body
into his domain where you will be eaten bones and all. Many missing people have been linked to the mysterious small town of Elizaville. Maybe a murderer is responsible, but
this figure has been reported wandering those parts since 1924!!!

Back in the hey day, Cambridge was quite the happening place, unlike the small little town it is now. The main way of transportation was the railroad that ran along
the edge of town. When President Abraham Lincoln was killed, the government had to ship his body across a few states for it to be buried properly. One of the
places that the funeral train passed through was Cambridge, Indiana. You can look it up on the Internet and find out that it actually did. On the anniversary of the
funeral train passing through, at around 4 in the morning, you are supposed to see a train come through where the tracks used to be covered by skeleton soldiers still
protecting Lincoln's body on that train. The tracks aren't there anymore, but a few remnants of them are still around.

Around 1915, the area that is now the Dunes State Park in northern Indiana was mostly uninhabited wilderness. The stories spread around the vicinity of Chesterton, Indiana that fishermen who
were along the beach at certain times of the day had been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a naked woman swimming in the lake. The story spread that
a beautiful woman was living as a hermit along the beach and her notoriety grew to a point that many compared her to the ancient Greek goddess Diana...hence the name
of this legendary creature. In truth, her name was Alice Marble Gray and she was the daughter of an influential couple from Chicago. Alice had traveled extensively and was cultured
and educated. She had worked in the city as an editorial secretary for a popular magazine, so what had made her take up the lonely life of a recluse. Some
have claimed that Alice came to the dunes because of a broken love affair but actually she left the city life because her deteriorating eyesight had made her work impossible.
She had sought refuge in the rough land that she had enjoyed as a child. Alice moved into an abandoned fisherman's cottage on the beach and lived a life of
peace, borrowing books from the library, walking in the woods and of course, swimming naked in the chilly waters of Lake Michigan. In 1920, Alice met a drifter named Paul
Wilson and he moved into the cabin with her. He was an unemployed boat builder with a shaky past but he seemed to make Alice happy and the two of
them stayed together until 1922.... when tragedy struck. The badly burned and beaten body of a man was found on the beach and police suspected that Wilson had a hand
in the murder. He was questioned but eventually let go. He and Alice moved to nearby Michigan City, Indiana, where they made a small living selling handmade furniture. Alice bore
her husband two daughters but he treated her terribly, often beating her severely. In 1925, Alice died in her home, shortly after the birth of her second daughter. The official
cause of death was said to be uremia poisoning...complicated by repeated blows to her back and stomach. Wilson disappeared and later tuned up in a California prison, serving time for
auto theft. The fate of Alice's daughters is unknown. Legends of the dunes say that Alice still returns to the beach and the wilderness that she loved so much. Over
the years, many have claimed that they have seen the ghostly figure of a nude woman running along the sand or disappearing into the water.

old one. Where the old one existed is now parking. No activity has been reported seen since the new building was up.- January 2006 Update: Well known urban legend started
by students at the local High School across the street in order to scare the freshmen. What was uncovered was no death had occurred, there was a gang shooting in
the 1980s the victim survived. We checked everything including police reports to verify this. There is an awkward magnetic field in the area which has explained the orbs as the
buildings around the Beef Villa and even the Beef Villa were torn down and rebuilt and the road it is on is under construction once a year as it as
a main road that attaches to the local highway.WARNING:If there is anyone that is planning on doing anything in any of those locations they must be sure that they have
permission first else they will be arrested.
Everything from cold spots, to apparitions, to footsteps from the upper floor (when you are "alone" in the building)has been reported here. When an addition was built on to the

the upper floor)doors that open and close by themselves, and an elevator that operates itself! Many night custodians have fled Phe building in the middle of their shift, leaving personal
belongings, scared to death, refusing to tell what they saw, or heard. And refusing to ever enter the building again.- August, 2005 Update/Additional information: There are 3 common grave stones
that can be easily seen and at this time most stones have now been removed from the hill. The Cemetery was mostly children but the ages were between stillborn and
10 with some adult graves. The best-known grave that is still intact was from an old man that worked at the Elgin Watch factory in the early 1900s. The school
itself was founded and built over the cemetery in 1968.- January 2006 Update: Graves still exist here. The Local School District U46 that owns the school had in the past
removed only a few graves(Just enough to build a basement) and left everything else. In the 1990s they dug up a total of 8 skeletons in the area where they
were going to expand the building. They also at the same time finally removed stones from the hill, though it is unlikely that they bodies were moved with as no
digging took place for that assignment but there is fresh sod on the hill. Another fact is that the majority of the graves were not children but adults. One of
the few remaining graves being of a man that was older but worked at the Elgin Watch Factory in the Early years of the town. There is another fact. When
the school was first built in 1968 a house on its boundary took many of the stones from the site and used them in the foundation of the house that
was being built. This is a true haunted site. Tresspassers will be arrested

in black n white. Very eerie. It was also a storage place for stage props when the theatre department was in operation until 1975 and only within the last 15

Documentation of patients being tortured in the turn of the century era before science understood insanity. They then were buried five in a grave with the name of the body
on top marking that grave. All kinds of supernatural activity here ranging from orbs to apparitions. - August, 2005 Update: Was actually the cemetery for those that died in the
Elgin State Mental Institution. Little activity is found. Area is located near quarry in the back of the sports complex. Common activity is items of all types being dropped and

Elgin State was a relic of the 1950s era of using pain for mental treatment. Electroshock and cold therapy were some of the ghastly methods used on patients. Many died
and as the years went on, and the cemetery ran out of room, the bodies were incinerated in the basement. The campus is shut down, and is closed down. Visitors
have to hop a fence and run from the security guards to avoid being fined $5,000. Reports include tapings, screams, shadows, lights inside, cold fields, and fog. Inside, visitors claim
to see blood stained walls, and smell the scent of decay. Many consider it the most haunted place in Chicago land. - June 2008 Update/correction to updates.: To see more
on the history, please check out http://www.worldmedicalguide.com/medical-disorders/mental-disorders/elgin-mental-health-center-more-than-just-a-psychiatric-facility/. This place has been mostly closed down. The State built additions that are the part that is open and yet it must
be regarded that open does not mean open to the public. The old part was closed done due to deadly asbestos that was discovered on the walls and the buildings
that were contaminated were all torn down. The reason for the armed guards is that there is both a juvenile detention center and a center for the Criminally insane that
exist on the property and the guards are there to make sure no one goes near these areas without clearance.
Once known as the Old Elgin High School, the building was erected in the late 1800s. After a fire broke out in the first 50 years the school moved down
the road and the District boarded the place up. No human deaths occurred however it is said that pets of the Science Faculty and classroom pets of most other departments
were victims. The building has long since been gutted though many rooms still remain boarded up and the building no serves as the storage facility of all the district paperwork
and offices of the central employees of the district. Lights will go on and off and in rooms that the windows are boarded up occasionally employees have still seen the
rooms sunlight as if the windows were not boarded up. Note- This office is private property just like the schools within the district.WARNING:If there is anyone that is planning on
doing anything in any of those locations they must be sure that they have permission first else they will be arrested.

hoax created by 8th grade students to scare the new 7th graders. The school was built in 1951 and was built on farmland in the area that was bought by
the local school district U46. There is no documentation that would prove the existence of an activity.- January 2006 Update: Urban Legend. Another District U46 school. Built in 1951, nobody
has ever been reported to have died on the property. This is another classic urban legend that students made over the years to scare incoming students. And as a side
note please remember that all schools in U46 are on Private Property and unless you are an employee of the district or a student or parents of a student they
do not want anyone to be near the place for the safety of the students. WARNING:If there is anyone that is planning on doing anything in any of those locations
they must be sure that they have permission first else they will be arrested.
The school was about 100 years old. People have said that they hear little children crying or laughing by the k.g. area. Down in the basement people said that they
hear noise of someone hamming some type of metal. Teachers seem to stick together when going to their class room. During night time people have said that weird things happen
in the building. Few years back the school had a vote to build a new school or to remodel the old building, students and staff voted for a new school.
The school no longer stands and place where it once stood is now a parking lot for the new school. - August, 2005 Update: This is a popular Urban Legend
Hoax. This school was originally built in the 1940s therefore it is not anywhere near 100 years old. The old building was torn down due to asbestos and a need
for a larger building, as the place was tiny but built in a way that they could not expand upon. They rebuilt it so that it was on a different
part of the hill that it was on and now more capable of expansion. This was done back in 2000. The building was recently closed after being open for one
year due to the fact the district did not have the funding to keep it open as the Person who was superintendent for the last several Years a Dr. Marvin
Edwards retired shortly after playing with the accountants books and it was determined that when he left he took several million dollars with him. Thus the district has had to
close down many of its schools to save money. Among the schools were Illinois park and Grant Elementary which was one of the oldest elementary schools in the area being
that it was Grant that was the 100-year-old school. Thus the whole thing about Illinois park is not fact.- January 2006 Update: Illinois park just so happens to have been
built in 1930s. The original building was torn down as they needed to fit more students in the building than there was room for. The newer building was built in
1999. This building is abandoned at the moment due to lack of funding by school District U46 to keep it open. basement in the old building was a large open
area used only as storage. The only people that could go back and forth in the basement were the janitors. Though the building is abandoned it is on land owned
by the district and the Elgin Police department is constantly on the premises. It is recommended that unless you want to be confronted by a cop that you stay away
from the place.WARNING:If there is anyone that is planning on doing anything in any of those locations they must be sure that they have permission first else they will be
arrested.
No reports of deaths in this area yet doors open and close, lights turn on and off on their own and reports from employees of phone calls that tell them

the cemetery where Governor Ogelsby is buried. The ghost of his wife visits his tomb. She will be seen sitting outside his tomb for a few minutes when a group
of Indian ghosts come up and chase her off across the bridge leading over the road by the cemetery. The woods at the back of the cemetery there’s a fence
that separates them with a step stool and sign next to fence. The sign say's, “grounds keepers don't wander back here neither should ladies and gents.” Well it's a path
over the fence going up the hill didn't explore to far up but u can hear voices footsteps through the woods and you can see black apparitions like there watching
you. Urban Legend is that at the top of the hill the path branches you have to pick which way to go but you have to pick correctly or you
don't come back.
reports of an apparition of a man with a lantern walking on the tracks and disappears.
At one time it was also called Spaso Speakeasy, originally it was a lovely stone manor. Directions to follow the story, It is said that long ago the woman that
owned it hung herself in the attic/which has been converted to the office/storage space for whatever business inhabits the building. The small basement has been used as a liquor/storage room.
The building has several dining areas with fireplaces in each one that have been converted to gas. Employees of then Spaso Speakeasy were almost asphyxiated by gas fumes when setting
up before opening one day, everybody began to get sick, it was later discovered that the gas for the fireplaces had been turned on but not lit. For years employees
have complained that the pull chain light switch at the top of the basement stairs, gets pulled and the light goes out, forcing you to either try maneuvering the stairs
in the dark or leave the lower light on, if you walk up the stairs and turn it on and go back down to finish what you are doing, the
light chain gets pulled, and the light goes out. There are secret panels and rooms behind the walls, that very few people are aware of, their purpose is unknown at
this time. One in particular is between the front entranceway and the kitchen, along the wall to the left. The bar area is particularly active, and things disappear and reappear,
such as a corkscrew that disappeared. After exhaustive searching, the manager went out and purchased another one, a few hours later, the missing corkscrew was simply sitting out in plain
sight on the bar, in the open. The ghost has been called Mrs. Murphy, although, it is not known if that was/is the true name, and is more like a
trickster than a specter. Just an odd note, a Halloween party was held in the year 1989, (then Spaso Speakeasy) a raffle was given for door prizes and the first
ticket drawn was *0666, No one held that ticket and it was not in sequence with the role of tickets being used. Most/all businesses in this building have failed, it
is/was near the corner of North Avenue and Route 83, If you start out at the intersection of North and York, travel toward Route 83, it is on the right
side, one business from the corner, a Peppers Waterbed Store used to be the business just past it. It is within visual distance of the Golden Pheasant restaurant, which is
across 83, and on the left. - December 2005 correction/Update: The Stone Cottage Pizza building in Elmhurst is still there. It had been converted to a relatively popular bar
and grill. That business, on westbound North Ave. has failed. There is a sign on it saying, "scheduled for commercial redevelopment". Parking availability cannot be blamed for it's closing. The
Golden Pheasant restaurant mentioned in the same spot on the eastbound side of North Ave. still flourishes with the same amount of space. North Ave and Route 83, is reported
to be the busiest intersection in the state. - March 2007 Update: It is being torn down with two next door establishments and will probably be use for mini-strip mall
or something like that. - October 2007 Update: It has been demolished.
!!!WARNING!!! Was once a tourist attraction for history buffs and ghost hunters alike. The house was sold to new owners in 1994 and they do not give tours. They do
not want guest and they do not want anyone near the property. they will call the police on trespassers. - the story of the Slave house is, the owner built
the house to breed slaves and sell them down south. He had many studs, his most famous was named Big Jim. All of the Slaves, including Big Jim were kept
chained in little rooms in the attic. Slavery was Illegal in IL, so the owner has a side entrance built on to the house that a wagon could pull up
to and a person or persons could be taken into the house and up to attic without being seen. Some of his victims were free blacks that he kidnapped and
held captured until they were sold down south when was done breading them. To this day the attic still has the little stalls with the chains on the wall and
floor. You can hear the moaning and crying of the slaves. Some reported seeing Big Jim in the Attic and other places in the house. There is a lot of
activity in the house. The owners would give tours and even let people spend the nightin the attic. It is said no one has ever been able to stay till
dawn in that attic. A few TV crews, ghost hunters and psychics have tried and failed.
The sanctuary is haunted by the ghost of a man in a black business suit. He has the way of not being involved with anyone in the room that all
ghosts have. He walks down the side aisle in the sanctuary, coming out from behind one pillar and walking behind the next, but if you look behind the pillar, no
one will be there. There are no doors or windows that he could have gone through, and no one in a black business suit was in the room. It is
unknown who he is or why he is haunting the church.
Evergreen Cemetery, 87th St.& Kedzie Ave., A young girl, 12 to 14 years of age, is said to haunt one of the CTA bus stops along 87th St. It is
said that she will board a bus, at night, and go immediately go to the back of the bus, without paying the fare. When the driver turns around to tell
her to pay, the bus is empty. Some drivers of cars on 87th St. have reported seeing "heads" floating above gravestones,( or late night "visitors" peeking from behind?) and people
sitting on some of the stone benches in cemetery at night. As this cemetery has no fence a more mundane explanation could fit. The Writer has seen vehicles drive right
off of Kedzie, over the curb, and into the cemetery at night. This was before this section of the cemetery along Kedzie was sold to the village of Evergreen Park,
which built a firehouse, and a skating rink on the site. The Boundaries of the cemetery are 87th St. to the north, 91st St. to the south, Kedzie Ave to
the east(actually behind the above mentioned firehouse, but visible from the street), and the B & O Railroad tracks to the west. On the other side of the tracks, is
a separate cemetery, St. Mary's, more on that cemetery to follow.
St. Mary's Cemetery, The boundaries of this cemetery are, The B & O railroad tracks which cross 87th St. on the east side, Pulaski Rd. on the west, 87th St.
on the north, and 91st St. on the south. Unlike Evergreen Cemetery to the east, St. Mary's has a fence going completely around it, with the main gate on 87th
St. and a smaller gate on 91st St. located between Homan and Trumbull Avenues. Late night drivers on 91st St. have reported seeing someone leaning against a fence post along
the fence bordering the railroad tracks, with his arms folding across his chest. One driver reported that the figure seemed to react to his driving by, by placing his hands
on his knees and crouching down, as if to look at him from under the branches of the tree between them, after which the figure disappeared. That St. Mary's has
not had more reports is somewhat surprising, as several deaths, all violent, have happened in and around the cemetery over the years. The first death was in 1927 at a
restaurant/speakeasy located along the tracks, at that time many funerals came to the cemetery by train, where the party would have the funeral, then have the after funeral lunch at
the restaurant while waiting for the return train. During Prohibition, this restaurant( known as "Vinegar Hill") was used as a speakeasy after dark, in 1927 one of the Westside O'Bannion
Brothers was murdered there, by the Capone Mob. The next death happened in 1933, on the tracks, about 30 yards south of 91st. At this spot occurred the last daylight
Train Robbery in the U.S. Two men stopped the train at this point and stole $50,000. from the mail car. One of the robbers was killed during the robbery and
never identified, the other robber was never caught, and the money never recovered. Finally, in the 1990's two men where shot once each in the heart, around 2:00a.m. While "visiting"
the grave of a rival street gang member, on the anniversary of his death, this murder is unsolved. Trespassing is not only not allowed, but unnecessary, as the only reports
of ghostly activity have all been observed from outside the cemeteries, (Evergreen Cemetery, and St. Mary's).

you knock on this tree, the echo goes down the roots and to the preachers body and he shrieks very quickly.

we then turned around to meet up with each other. As we got closer to each other, we suddenly felt nauseated and we felt chilled. We looked at each other
and realized we were all experiencing the same sensations. We looked down at the grave in front of us, and it had the name, Benjamin Bennett on it. The next

New Chicago - Hobart Township - River Forest Junior and Senior High Schools- The River Forest Junior and Senior High Schools are connected. Outside of the school there are
tennis courts, before they were tennis courts there used to be a pool that was used for gym class. The reason that the tennis courts were built is because a
boy drowned in the pool during gym class one day. He is sometimes seen and heard in the High School gym, Junior High multi-purpose Room, High School Cafeteria, and throughout
the High School halls. He is usually not seen during school hours. Most of the people who see him have seen him while staying late for after-school activities or games.
One lunch lady has actually claimed to having conversations with the boy. When asked about it she replied: "The first time I saw him it frightened me, but now I
am not scared, and I know he means no harm. He is just a lost soul stuck on Earth. I was walking out to my car, which was parked near
the tennis courts and I saw him standing inside the gate of the tennis court. He was staring at me so I asked him what he was doing there. He
told me that he had drowned. I asked him his name and he disappeared. Now, whenever I talk with him he disappears if I ask his name, which I find
very odd."

"XIV", and a picture of a large eye that is bleeding, with a diamond at the end of the trail of blood. - October 10, 2007 the building was torn
down.
haunted by the young wife of the first owner. When you go by the house at night you can see blue lights flickering on and off on the grounds and
in the tower window. According to legend the man couldn't stand the thought of burying his lovely young wife so had a special glass coffin built and placed in the
tower. He would go visit his wife every night. The tower was lit by soft blue lights, her favorite color. - June 2008 Correction / Additional information: It was located
on Fall Creek Road and is now Skiles Test Park. The house was abandoned and torn down in the 1980's. It also says that the owner had placed his deceased
wife into a glass coffin and displayed her in a tower. This part of the story is also incorrect. The story goes that Mr. Skiles Test, after the unexpected death
of his wife, had her placed in a glass coffin and displayed in a large bay window of his home surrounded by blue lights. Now that Mr. Test has passed
away and the house has been torn down, at night you can still see the glow of the blue lights. The story of the house of blue lights is not
true but it is a story that I would like to pass down to my children. The reason that Mr. Tests home was called the house of blue lights is
because he loved the color so much that he kept his Christmas lights up on his house and around his pool year round. Mr. Test was a very wealthy business
man that was committed to his community and even donated a parcel of his land to the Lawrence Township School Board. The school board graciously accepted the land and built
an elementary school on it named after Mr. Test. Soon after his death, Mr. Tests family donated his estate to the city of Indianapolis and it was turned into a
nature preserve.

mezzanine creaking and groaning just as they would if someone were running.

happened, access to the elevator was blocked and the power cut off. Many people have reported hearing this mysterious elevator going through the floors, muffled by screams heard in the
elevator shaft. Some have even claimed to see the actual ghost of the shooting victim wandering the halls of the building.
Irvington is a town in Indiana. It was founded sometime in the 1800's. There is a church there that was once upon a time a house (it was added onto

Apart of Marian College campus, the Allison Mansion is an old glorious mansion. Built between 1909-1911, it was James & Sarah Allison’s summer house. After Marian College acquired it from
the Allison estates it was put to good use as a college building. The attic was the sisters dorm, the students lived in the old garage and classes took place

There is a road out in the country and it is pretty popular for kids to go to at night. If you drive down the road one way after you
go over a big bump you turn around at the nearest place to turn. Then you go back over it and once you hit the bump you see what looks
like a trail of blood leading all the way down the road. They have tried to pave over it but it always comes back. The story goes that a man

the back of the truck and he drug it down the road.... that is supposedly what the blood is from.

The Strand is said to be haunted by one of it's previous owners. There have been multiple sightings of the man. First there was a woman cleaning the theater one
day with her 3 and 5 year old children running around. As she was cleaning one of the theater's she heared her children screaming. She went to see what was
going on and they both told her that there was a man at the top of the stairs (the stairs that led to the balcony). The woman called one of
the workers in and he asked the kids what the man looked like. They gave him a very elaborate description. A few days later that same worker was closing up after
the shows and was making sure the emergency exits were closed. As he walked out of the hallway to the one exit he looked up to the projection room and
saw a man duck his head really quickly. The man fit the same description the 3 and 5 year old children gave just days before. He ran immediately upstairs; the
only way to get to the projection room and there was noone to be found. About a week later a man came along and bought The Strand and the worker
noticed this man looked very familiar. He talked to the man and found out that the man's father used to own The Strand as well and killed himself in the
projection room years before. I heard this story from one of the workers at the theater now; the same man who saw the ghost when he was a teen working
at the theater. The ghost has since been spotted watching people through the projection room window, but ducks immediately upon being spotted.

boy through the 3rd floor windows. The creepy thing is that if you look at the old class photos hanging in the hall dated back from the very first class

seen anyway.

Horse. He will tell you how hard he works and how little you work. His hands are green from never wearing any gloves. Some people say he has asked to
see their hands. If you show him your hands, he will say, "Them's woman's hands!!" The scariest part of this site is, he is real. He is not a ghost.
The reason why he asks for a ride is because he is a hobo bum who doesn't have a license.
A girl named Elizabeth Wilson drowned in a swamp after the car she was riding in went off the road into a swamp. People say that if you drive down

give her a ride back to her house get as far as Ross cemetery before she disappears. The same cemetery that she was buried in 1955. More history to this
road is during heavy mafia activity in Chicago around the 1930's they would dump bodies off this road because it was, at the time, out of the way and seldom
traveled. Most of the bodies were not discovered until the mid sixties when the area started to be developed. Through the late 1980's until the mid 1990's the woods around
this road became a popular place to commit suicide. Most people that have killed themselves there were area high school students. There are a few houses still on the road,
near the main development. Many reports of various apparitions (figures in the woods, ghostly lights, voices, being chased by cars/ creatures). also, mostly due to the fact that it is
surrounded by woods, various animal parts are frequently found along the road. these are odd in the fact that they seem to almost always be placed in the exact center
of the road. Never an entire animal like road kill, but parts...a head, a leg, a torso. Usually rabbits or raccoons but household pets have also been reported, One person
witnessed the head of a large dog, a German shepherd or similar large breed, positioned in the center of the road. There was no blood and the eyes were open
staring down the line of the road.

This is one of the oldest cemeteries in Warren County. Most of the stones date back to the early 1800's. There is an Indian buried there who was killed by
the people trying to settle in the area. Story has it that this Indian was responsible for scalping a white farmer who was working in his field. The community hunted
down the Indian a killed him. There has been documented investigations in this cemetery several times in just the past few years. Many uncertain images appear in pictures and audio
recordings playback what sounds to be Indian chanting. The area residents discourage anyone from entering the cemetery after dark. This stems from several problems with cult activity in the years
past. Many have stated that even on the hottest summer day once you enter the cast iron gates of the cemetery a cool breeze will follow you around. If you
travel to the cemetery go to the farthest stone in the southeast corner of the cemetery and you will find the stone of the unnamed Indian.
Possible Urban Legend - There was a family driving across the bridge only that lived in the 1800. They were carriage driving across the bridge. Another carriage ran right into

long a blue green small fog will float were it drown and come close to you car.

select buildings still remain...At night glowing yellow orbs can be seen in buildings. Overwhelming feelings of depression can be felt whilst driving by the old infirmary.. Also if you go
into some of the buildings they have been left as they were then. A few years back some friends of mine went into the theatre.... They said that everything is
still backstage.
Atkin Hall - Atkin-Colby Hall is 10 stories tall plus penthouses--what we call the eleventh floors. The building opened in the fall of 1962. The elevators only go up to
the tenth floor; you have to take stairs from there to the eleventh floors. The eleventh floors are generally locked and used for storage. I believe people originally lived in
them, although nobody has for years. The eleventh floor of Atkin has a presence in it. Nobody seems to know what could have caused a haunting up there, and I
don't think a ghost has ever been sighted. But there seems to be a very strong negative presence. You can even feel it on the landing--outside that locked door. I
know people who won't go up there alone at night.
Fraternity house - A girl was said to have died in the back stair well to this fraternity house. Her bedroom was on the second floor and mysterious whispers and

room in Williams where rare and expensive books are still kept. The only way into this room is thru sign-in. So nobody can be in there without the on duty
worker's permission. Sometimes, books are shipped-out to be rebound, and after they are placed back in the old room, they are found just as tattered as they were before. She
stacks books in odd fashions, and has been sighted by a handful of workers and students. There have been many occasions where books have been mysteriously pushed one by one
onto the floor and people have seen a white object out of the corner of their eye. The library was scanned and measured and the results were that there was
some type of energy or spirit was present.
it's an old church with many rooms upstairs. People have seen an old lady in the basement area. They have a pool table in the basement. Some people were playing

to the others and asked where is the ball. When he said that the ball fell from the ceiling onto the table. There are norrow winding stairs that lead to
a room. In the secluded upstairs room, there are words written on the wall with red crayon in a little child's handwriting. The writing says, "Be kind in God's house."
In a small town called Oakbrook behind the old Graue Mill underground railroad station there lies a church. Behind this church lies the most haunted cemetery in the entire world.
It has been rumored that the church has been around since the early settlement of the Chicago area. The church was certainly around during the time of the fugitive salves
and was the church of the mill owners and the mill's surrounding inhabitants. Buried in the cemeteries grounds are the bodies of the slaves which never achieved true freedom and
died on their trek to Canada. On some late summer nights it’s been said that one can see the slaves not at rest, but stirring about in the cemetery and
the church. The cemetery is most defiantly haunted by these restless souls as well as many other ghouls and probably monsters. Just joking about the monsters but for real the
place is haunted and is defiantly worth a trip out to see.

This is a very haunted road that few people know about. Take state road 38 all the way to Mulberry and look for a road called 900 west. If you
are coming from Lafayette, go right on it. You will come to a stop sign. Go thru the sign. That is Hamilton road. There are 3 one-lane bridges on this
road, when you get to the third bridge, stop and flash your lights 4 times. As you then cross the bridge, you will see a short man in your rearview
mirror chasing you. If you drive up the road about 50 feet you will come to an old church graveyard. Go it the graveyard and park as close to the
back as you can get. Walk along the fence and you will see what looks like flames coming from the woods. This is where the church once stood. It is
said that when it caught fire in the 1800s that everyone was killed. Also there are old haunted tracks right after the graveyard. Go about midnight and stop in the
middle of the tracks. Put baby powder on your rear bumper. You will hear a train whistle and see the lights come at you. Then they will disappear. Get out
and look at the back of your car and you will see baby fingerprints. A little boy named Danny was killed here in the early 1900s right after the tracks
were built. WARNING: THIS ROAD IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON IN THE WINTER. IF IT IS RAINING OR SNOWING DO NOT ATTEMP TO DRIVE ON THIS ROAD!
A family moved into the possible haunted home on West 6th Street in Muncie after the landlord lowered the rent. He explained to the family that previous tenants didn't want
to stay longer than 2 months. After the family had lived there for a while, the children were scared of the upstairs playroom because of the old lady that lived
there. The old lady that the kids were seeing was a ghost. Later unexplained happenings were pacing sounds in the playroom, kids tucked into bed, and items in the kitchen,
such as mayonnaise being moved. A boy had died in the bedroom and his mother died there years afterwards. I have also heard about weird occurrences like past tenants waking
up and having some sort of oil dumped on them. The new tenant of the home believes it's haunted also. There is a road in Jay County, Indiana where if

The building was originally built in 1913 and served as the city hall, jail, and fire station throughout most of the last century. The building is currently being restored by
Ellusions, Inc. - www.ellusionsinc.com, who is currently renting it. Many employees have seen and heard many things in the building. When questioned, police officers who used to work there also
verified unexplainable events. Ellusions had psychic Sandi Athey tour the building remotely. She described several events that were confirmed by previous tenants. Fort Wayne Ghost Trackers were asked to conduct
an investigation, which also proved fruitful and confirmed many things posed by Psychic Sandi. The basement has documented cases of different smells and orbs and video of orbs were recorded
by the staff of Ellusions and FWIGT.org. Rumor has it that the basement was once used as a temporary morgue. Orbs were photographed in many rooms throughout the building.
There is a small, cramped tunnel that runs under the highway between New Haven High School and New Haven Middle School. Legend says that back in the early 70s, a
homeless man was beaten to death by a group of sixth graders returning from a basketball game. For several days he was passed on by students who, not realizing he was
dead, kicked and prodded the body with sticks. Some accounts even say that "Fat Mikey", one of the most notoriously bad seventh graders, urinated on the man's prone form. Finally,
after a weeks time, someone reported the body to authorities. However, when the police arrived, they found nothing but a few scraps of clothe and bone fragments. Some speculate that
he had been devoured completely by "The Feral Dogs of Lincoln Highway". Others believe that he now lives beneath the earth and rises from the dead on the nights when
basketball games are played, waiting to prey on unsuspecting children. There are many eerie feelings associated with this tunnel, and a few students claim to have heard voices or even
feel a rough hand gripping their shoulder. Whatever the case, you can always smell urine there.

life. Over the years I have seen and heard many of things such as, red glowing eyes, a woman in white, a bay crying. and sometimes when you are driving
on this road your car will die or if it doesn't die, your headlights will get dim as if something is feeding off the energy. About 15 years ago a
man was brutally murdered on that road. It was haunted way before the murder incident. Makes one wonder if an evil spirit provoked the murder.

A long time ago, there was a girl and her boyfriend driving down the road after prom. Towards the end of the road, there is a sharp curve and at
night you can't really see it. Supposedly they went off the road and the girl died instantly. The boy crawled out of the road and wrote help in his own
blood. He died right after that. On some nights, you are supposed to see it written in the road and you can see the girl walking down the road. -

Located in Spring Falls off of route 6. The story goes: There was an old biker bar on route 6 in the 1980's and a man and his wife were
drunk but decided to go home. He also decided to take the short cut, a small road with deep ditches on each side, not many people took this road back
then because of it's size. Anyways there was a curve in the road and the man was going really fast and slung shot him and his wife into the ditch,
on impact the wife died and the man was paralyzed from the waist down and was bleeding everywhere, knowing no one could see him in the ditch he went up
onto the road and wrote HELP in big letters across the road in his blood. He then went back down to his wife and died later around 3:00. Around 9:00
in the morning a farmer was going down the same road, because this was his normal route and he known the road well. Saw the help on the road and
thought that it was some teenagers playing a trick, then seeing the man and woman next to the motorcycle wreck drove to town to the sheriff’s office and told him
of what he saw. After the sheriff and his team took the motorcycle and bodies out of the ditch and to the town they had to wash off the HELP
in blood with chemicals so no one would become freaked out. the next morning the farmer was going down the road again and saw the HELP as clear as day
and was appalled that they didn't wash it off. he went to the sheriff and told him to clean it. Confused the sheriff sent the team out again to clean
it, this time the farmer watched, the next morning the farmer again went down the road and saw the HELP spooked, and knowing that it had in fact been cleaned
he told the sheriff and they thought that it must have been some kids. So the night-shift sheriff went on his routes throughout the town and also took help road
to see if he could catch the kids playing the trick. He went down to the spot around 2:00 am and there weren't any words or people around. Around 3:05
he came back the there were the words HELP in blood. In the same exact writing as it had been the first day. Since then help road has been widen
a little and paved over and every time the words HELP appear in the same spot in the same exact way. This is a true story. Have someone go down
to Ottawa or Spring Valley and ask around for help road. You will find it and when you do take a picture, some say you can see 2 orbs floating
around the site in early hours of the morning. - June 2008 Additional information - Help road is actually located on Rt 6 west of Spring Valley and its a
road heading into Depue. The road number is 2775 E. But they say a guy was buried alive in that location. It could be possible there is another help rd

Shopping Center - Right on the northeast corner of this intersection, in front of the shopping center, once stood the old Browns Chicken & Pasta restaurant, site of the infamous
Brown's Chicken Massacre of 1993. On a cold January morning in 1993, police found seven murdered people stuffed in freezers in the back room of the restaurant, apparently victims of
a robbery. The building had stood empty until the following year, and then it became a dry cleaning establishment. It was then when some people experienced very violent, and angry
vibes that were not their own, and some had felt sudden decreases in temperature, even during the height of the summer. Nearby residents even claimed they had heard the sounds
of faint shots and screaming during the evening hours, often repeated time after time. The cleaning establishment finally went out of business in 1999, and the building was torn down
the following year. The oddities still continued. In May of 2002, the two killers were finally apprehended after nine years of little or no leads or progress in the case.
Since then, there have been no more reports of any odd feelings or ghostly sounds. It would seem the spirits have been able to rest. For a report on the
murders 5 days after check out ABC 7 Chicago news - The story about the girl dying by the diving board in the 1970's was all made up as halloween
gag a few years ago by the swim team.

Farmington Road. it was possibly Bernie and the submitter is not sure of the date but it was headline news in the Peoria Journal Star. They think it happened around

was a gangland style killing and the hit was supposedly ordered by The Burger gang. At any rate the tavern was a known stop for Bernie at pretty much the
same time each day. Many people now claim that the tavern is haunted by Bernie Shelton and there was quite a story in the Peoria Journal Star a couple of
years ago where a reporter interviewed the owner and several patrons who swore that the have witnessed experiences of Bernie’s presence in the tavern. - Febuary 2005 corection: Bernie
Shelton was shot with a high powered rifle from the hillside above the tavern on July 26, 1948. He owned the tavern at the time. His murder was never solved,

will soon after see a small cluster of pillars at the entrance of a gravel road. This site used to be swampy and marshy and there have been at least
8 decaying bodies found there (reported by Mississinewa staff). This site may be an old burial ground of some sort or battlefield, as to the thousands of spirits hiding within
the trees. You will drive down this gravel road, and the trees will begin to swarm and intertwine above you. You will then come to a circle. Getting out the
car, it is said that if you whistle, someone will begin whistling with you from deep in the forest. It is also said that a noise like a pig squeel
and dogs barking can be heard like it is right next to you. And last but NOT least, you will hear screams like a small child is being tortured; supposedly

Building still standing on Kishwaukee Street, south of Harrison road.
An interesting place is our Rockford Board of Education building at 201 S Madison St in Rockford. The head custodian there has for many years told stories of the evening
shift custodians and the basement. The building was at first built as Rockford Central High School near the turn of the 20th century. It has two buildings attached to it
and an underground hallway that my mother (deceased) used as a student and they called that passage "rat alley". The hallway connected the first building to the second building. The
basement of the "haunted" area used to be the "shop" area and housed small machines for the male students to practice machine skills. It is not clear what happened down
there, but the custodians DON'T like to go down there at night, the lights will turn on after being turned OFF. Many a morning the head custodian will arrive for
his day shift and find all the lights on in the basement. The lights seem to have a will of their own. A former secretarythought it was strange to hear
hear grown men sound afraid of the basement. They hear noises down there, voices, all kinds of things.

to be hot spots.
McGaw Hall - 5th Floor - where an epileptic girl died in the bathtub over a Thanksgiving break some years ago is reported to have ghost activity. If you have

they stayed on the 6th and 7th floor. In many cases, as they took their showers, they would hear a girl singing. Also in the bathroom, one cheerleader heard a
man talking yet could not understand what he was saying, when there were no men in the building at anytime during the four days (the janitors were all women). Also,
in room 607, many times everything on the third shelf from the top fell for no reason, sometimes when no one was in the room, everything on the shelf was:
a box of tissues; sandals laying flat; and towels. Two cheerleaders stayed in room 603 and they heard walking and the chair sliding across the floor above me in room
703, when no one stayed in that room and the unoccupied rooms are locked and they did not have a key to that room.
Maddox Theatre -Down in the dressing rooms, lights sometimes flicker. They once went off in a storm and a face seemed to appear in the mirror. Often, in different parts
of the theatre, loud screaming noises can be heard, even though nobody is around. The area around the building always seems to be windy. Also In the prop room in
Maddox theatre, there is a bell that supposedly rings on it's own. It was taken years earlier for a girl that was ill in her room and anytime she needed
anything, she was to ring the bell. A couple of days later, she died in a car accident. It is said that a man several years later had the bell
for the same purpose, and he would wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of the bell ringing.

the rooms and in the parking lot. Guests have reported that they have seen figures moving through their room at night, hearing strange noises that cannot be the neighbors because
all the rooms are soundproof since the hotel is across from the O’Hare airport. One guest said that after she took a shower she came out of the bathroom to
find her clothes thrown all over the room, and no one could have gotten into the room because she put the latch on the door. you can also see a
man dressed in a suit looking over the top floor balcony on the east side of the hotel, the same spot where a man jumped off, in the fall of

A few miles east of Monmouth, Illinois, on the original Highway 34, there is a curve that has been the sight of a few car accidents. A midpoint of the
curve, there is a tree that a few cars have been wrapped around. The tree is supposed to move without the help of the wind, almost as if it is
trying to cause another accident.
basically the story about these tracks is that a mother was driving a car over the tracks with a car filled with children. The car stalled just as she got
onto the tracks. The mother got out of the car to see if she could get it to start again. However, being preoccupied with fixing the car she didn't realize
a train was coming around the curve. She tried to get the kids out but it was to late. The train hit, killing all the children. Story goes, if you
park your car over the tracks late at night the children that died in the accident will try to push your car off the tracks. And their hand prints will
remain on the trunk of the car.

It's called Payton s place and it's very hard to find. From the road in the middle of nowhere you park, walk through a path in a corn field, through
a tunnel like path through trees and come to a small clearing where there is a mass family cemetery plot. It started in the 1950's when a father of a
family of 4 came home and proceeded to kill each of his family members in there house then hang him self in the barn. This shortly made news papers and
news. The relatives started a family plot in the woods not far from the house and barn which still stands but the house is farther back in the woods and
hidden. Left as it was abandoned still with pictures on the wall. So when you come up to this plot there are first 5 small newer tombstones, then a catacomb
type building about 4 foot tall and 20 by 15 feet wide, made with stone then covered with primitive cement mix. Portions of the walls are falling off but from
what we can tell the walls are at least 1 1/2 foot thick. In there are the 5 bodies of the Payton family. To the left of that is a
larger monument with 6 names on it including born, death dates, town from and relationship to the family. This is somewhat newer housing other relatives of the Payton family. The
barn can still be found where the father hung him self closer to the road.
Reports have been made of an orange light coming towards people. There have also been reports of the light chasing people and leaving a burn streak on their cars.
The Vennum House in is connection with the below mentioned, Watseka Manor. For the full story please check out their website at http://thevennumhouse.com/ There is a SciFi Channel production

Supposedly, there is a mansion in Watseka that is haunted by demon. The story goes, that in 1812(early 1800's), there was a 12-year-old girl who had moved in with her
family. A short time after, she became possessed. They tried exorcising the demon, but she eventually died. Her name was Mary. Some years after the family had left the home,
a new family moved in. Their daughter became possessed as well. - February 2004 update: There is actually a book called "Watseka" that details this. Asa B. Roff's daughter had
spirits come through her and was thought to be insane. They bled her regularly trying to treat her (getting rid of the "bad blood"). She eventually passed away, but years
later inhabited / possessed the body of another child in the town and actually moved back home with her (Mary's) parents until the child’s body was ready for her spirit
to return so to speak. Very interesting read, most libraries can get it.

this restaurant use to be a funeral Chapel, & now it’s a restaurant. The lights towards the back of the restaurant on the right side of the kitchen tend to
dim down all by themselves. When someone is walking up the back staircase,(usually only used by employees) you can hear someone walking behind you. In the women’s bathroom, as an
employee was washing their hands, they felt someone looking at them, so they glanced out of the corner of their eye & saw someone, but when they turned their head
to look there was nothing there. In the elevator you can get a sort of uneasy feeling. A group having dinner when they heard a woman’s voice calling my brothers
name, (my brothers name by the way is very uncommon because it is Irvin)the restaurant wasn’t really full that night, the waiter also heard the voice & they continued hearing
it through out the night.

About a half block into the woods off the side of German Church Road. The old gravel driveway can barely be seen now that most of it is covered with

This home was built in the mid 1800's by a couple who were into spiritualism and frequently held séances in their isolated palace in Bull Valley (Bull Valley is said
to be one of the closest places to hell). Because of a belief they held, they had the house built with no 90 degree corners, so "spirits wouldn't get stuck
in them" or have "a place to hide" (it is also believed that the devil himself hides in corners). The legend says that the builder left one upstairs corner in
the house with a 90 degree angle, and later the entire family was found butchered in that corner. Most of the haunting stories came from a resident who bought the
then dilapidated home in the 1970's, who claimed it was "tainted" by "Devil worshippers" and that he had heard unexplained noises. It is now a police station, the address is
1904 Cherry Valley Rd.

will see orbs, children laughing has been heard, and sightings of the man in black have been seen.
A ghost sits in same seat in balcony and is never occupied. it is always left empty for the ghost during any performance. The ghost is seen walking halls and
in the upper windows periodically looking out. She has been seen by the living. Known as Elvira, people have described her as being a beautiful entity, "whose blond hair hung
below her slim waist," and who was wearing a "filmy, dancing gown." When young actresses are in the theater to try out for a part in a production, the staircase
is watched diligently, because sometimes, on occasion, a young actress has the irresistible urge to travel up the staircase to the open portals, probably under the influence of Elvira. So
far, all such actresses, in this hypnotic state, have been pulled away from danger. Elvira likes to move props, and untie scenery flats so they fall over, to let the
living know that she is there, and needs some laughs as well. Seat DD113 is Elvira's favorite seat in the audience seating area. All the seats are spring-loaded; meaning that
they stay in the upright, folded position, unless someone is sitting in them. Actors, actresses and stagehands have often seen seat 113 in the down position, as if some unseen
presence was sitting in it, watching the rehearsal. After examining the seat 113, it is always found to be working properly, staying in the upright position. Whenever a performer misses
a cue, or bungles a line, a low, deep sigh is often heard, coming from seat 113. Elvira expects high standards to be maintained by the cast of any production.
In the 1940's, while Shelly Berman was working on some scenery for an upcoming production, late one evening, he heard a noise from the audience seating, which made him look
in that direction. He saw that not only was seat 113 in the down position, but several seats in the same row as 113 as well. Perhaps Elvira, and a
few other ghostly patrons of the arts were watching his efforts on stage. Berman ran quickly over to the seats, but by the time he got to them, all were
up in the correct, upright position. - June 2008: This story may be a fabrication to get publicity.

the halls at night.

the GW. Multiple people have said that they have seen her in the lower levels of the Engineering spaces. One saw her in a pink and white dress. Another saw
her in a blue dress and when he tried to get closer she was gone. Another sailor said that he had seen a guard dog on one of his tours,
but the dog disappeared as soon as he got closer to it. There have been reports of strange noises, like the sound of someone jingling their keys as they walk
down the stairs but there is no one on the stairs. One time a man walked halfway down the stairs but never made it to the bottom. Two gentlemen standing
near watched him start his journey before he disappeared. Another group of men have seen a man walking through equipment before going out of sight. Once they investigated they found
no one in the space. Other strange things happen as well, shoulder tapping, strange sounds, shadows, tools moving in the middle of the night. And most of all, the overwhelming
sensation of being watched from every nook and cranny of the space.

In the cemetery late at night, like midnight or later, no matter what the temperature, it gets cold as soon as you walk through the gates. And you hear noises
in the bushes around you and the leaves are moving and there is no wind. It sounds like people are talking and whispering to one another, but you really can't
understand what they are saying. Every once in a while, you see a shadowy figure ahead of you, and if you get closer it disappears. The whole time you are
walking you can hear footsteps behind you. Some times you hear a train approaching, and you would probably say "well that's normal since it is right by an active rail
road track", well let me tell you this: my mom is a conductor on the trains that go through there and she says they rarely ever go through there at
that hour. Plus you can stand and listen to that sound for almost 10 to 15 minutes and the train never comes. Around dawn every thing seems to go back
to being normal, no noises, no footsteps from unseen followers, nothing.

doorways (most likely the very last door all the way to the right) 'watching' you as you move around. Should you get close they may end up vanishing before you

Once you park in the middle of two trees facing the cemetery just like the midnight jogger turn your lights on high beam. Once we waited a while two of
our friends decided to roam around the cemetery for fun one of them dared the other to walk forward and touch three that was a short distance away well she
did and that is when we saw something black with it's arms crossed and it's head lying down like it is laying in a casket, at the very tip of
the tree.
A long time ago a woman hung herself and if you drive out there at night, and turn off you car lights before crossing over the bridge you will see

also a light on the island out there that comes on at 7:00 pm every night, but there is not a house or even power lines going out there.

March 2008 update: Has been torn down to make way for town homes. - This favorite "Old Town" Mexican restaurant is built around an original structure that stood in the
original "old town" of Coeur D'Alene near the lake. Restaurant workers often see "shadows" and feel a strange, "cold presence" while retrieving supplies in the cellar. Rumors have it that
a construction worker lost his life when he fell while the foundation was being poured. His saw was left between the wall where he is said to have fallen. Last
sighting was 7-06-2002. Public restrooms are across the basement hall from the stockroom where the shadows are spotted at any time of day. Guests will often be seen making a
running exit up the basement stairs without any explanation. The most common remark to the restaurant manager is: "You know, that basement is really creepy!"

Many believe that it is a girl but after visiting the location several times in the last six months, there is no doubt that that is a boy in the
tree. If you stop the car or get out you are not able to see him. But if you drive slow enough he will wave at you and sometimes get
out of the tree and run up to the fence. We have never seen him past the fence. Legend has it that the ghost of a little girl haunts a
tree in the cemetery. This tree is close to her grave and is a perfect climbing tree. The little girl reportedly sits in the tree and waves to passers-by. The
little girl was an avid tree-climber and loved to play with the neighborhood kids before her death. Most accounts list her cause of death a drowning. Many people speculate that
since she was so open and friendly in life, and her death was such a lonely one, she feels lonely and tries to make friends of the people who drive
past on their way to or from the hills surrounding the town.

if the house were there and the rooms were lighted. Several witnesses have been inside and have reported that there are spirits of a family murdered by the father roaming
around the yard. After roaming and exploring, a young man and his brother were spooked by sudden screams and tried to leave the lot, he knocked the ladder over and
tried to climb the inside of the wall. He felt as if there were nails hammered through to the inside and he was being scratched. When his brother righted the
ladder, they both climbed over the fence and escaped. The young man still has the scars, but there are no nails or nail holes in that fence and none of
the neighbors had heard a thing. Also on several occasions that the 'apparition' of the house that stood there would appear with lighted windows. Upon further surveillance, figures could be
seen passing by the windows and opening the front door. Children could be heard playing in the front yard, but could not be seen because of the high fence.
People have reported that they have heard heavy footsteps walking around, Furniture moving on its own, also reported hearing doors open and hearing voices when they are there alone.

There are two stories associated with Rose Hill cemetery, the first is in regards to a large square monument. Rumor says that if you knock on this large above ground
tomb, that the inhabitant will knock back at you. The second states that there is a monument that says the name Wolf and has a large bite taken out of
it. It is rumored to be the grave of a werewolf. May 2005 Update: A visitor investigated this site and reports, "concerning the tomb we only found one that
matched the description of the tomb of which we knocked on but sadly there was no reply secondly after looking through the cemetery we could not find any stone with
bite/scratch marks, though we didn?t look through all of it, so the wolf headstone could still be real" - April 2008 The description of the warewolf haunting comes as a
result of 2 graves side by side in the Rose Hill Cemetery. One of a gentleman by the last man of Wolff and the other a gentleman by the name
of Wear. The cemetery has since removed one of the headstones to a new location in the cemetery.
Late spring, summer and fall, when in the desert, you can sometimes hear whistling and singing. It sounds Russian. The desert is very quiet there. Watch out for snakes!! The
old town was a water stop for Russian-Germans coming from South Dakota at the turn of the last century.
Stricker Ranch was at one time part of the Oregon Trail where many people died because of the long journey. There is still today this day a small cemetery out
in an open field. Where at certain times of the night people have sited ghosts running through the field. There is a particular cabin that people have sited the doors
open and lights flickering inside. As soon as you are on the property you can immediately feel the presence of the people that once died there.
it is a two story, red brick building, with a 100 x 50 foot courtyard in the middle. It is located on the west side of an open field, which
is about the size of a football field. Directly across from this building (on the eastern-most side) used to stand an identical building, which burned down about 20 years ago.
Finally, on the northern-most part of the field is another building, which was part of the other two, which has since been remodeled into the local school districts office. The
point behind all of this, is that these buildings were once used as offices, dormitory's and also a TB hospital and sanitarium by the U.S. Calvary during the early settlement
days. This area was called "Ft. Lapwai". The building has now been remodeled-extensively- and contains a total of 11 head start classes, with 4 of those classes for the ages
of 0-3 years. it is these downstairs, baby rooms that have some of the most "activity" one particular incident occurred about a year ago, conveniently around Halloween! The last persons
out of the building are usually the janitors. They usually run a check thru to make sure all of the night. early the next morning, the first person downstairs in
the morning is the lead teacher. When he arrived in the morning, there was children's reading books, put into two separate lines on the floor, side-by-side, leading from one room
to the office. No one had been in the building, nothing was missing, toys are often found as if they had been played with-after they had been put away, lights
have been witnessed downstairs, apparitions have been seen, rocking chairs move without anyone in them, and other strange occurrences. Other rooms also have activity, but one room seems to have
the most.
Several years ago two girls were murdered in the theatre which used to be a church. Also that night the janitor disappeared and they still can't find him to this
day. At night you can see the youngest girl climb up the stairs. She will also play tricks on you. There is also a phantasm there of a woman who
was left at the altar when it was a church. You can see her roam through the seats crying. Also one of the old directors who passed away will sometimes
come in late at night and sit down to watch a play. Strange feeling can be felt all around. September 2004 addition: there are, at any given time, no less
than 70 spirits in the theatre. There's a trap door in the light booth that goes up to the rafters that has opened on its own. Lights turn on and
off on their own. The chandelier spins in one direction for ten minutes, stops for five, and starts spinning is the same direction. Visitors lit candles on stage. Some blew
out on their own. The ones that didn't blow out didn't burn when you put your hand in the flame. There was wailing that started from stage right and moved
inhumanly fast to stage left. Floorboards move inexplicably. All the spirits there are harmless, of course, but it's still an exhilerating experience.

Sidewinders was built in 1908.? Murtaugh, its townspeople, nearby Milner damn and irrigation workers, as well as Union Pacific workers suffered losses and unimaginable hardships back then.? For most of
its existence this historic building served as the towns main gathering spot, message center, watering hole, gamblin' joint, not to mention, place of ill repute.? Through the years, many have
witnessed a passing shadow, heard laughter, or tuned in to the saloon's piano playing at a distance.? These experiences most generally happen at different times, when patrons clear, leaving one
sometimes two people to witness.?? Most notably and occurring frequently, the volume of the stereo or jukebox will peak to the max without warning or help from anyone close by.
Rich in history and revered as a place to unwind, visit, and relax, no haunting experience at Sidewinders has ever been deemed threatening, violent, or harmful.???

up or down Stark Road
next to the Cocheco River - Many years ago the mill caught on fire. A lot of it burned down and many people died in the mills. Now when you
are just standing outside of it after dark, when everyone is gone and all the offices are closed, you can see strange lights coming from higher-level rooms. You also hear
very strange noises, which can be identified as machines turning on and off. At first they are quieter but when listening for about five minutes, one very loud machine turns
on. If you look in a few of the basement windows, you can see one light on in the whole basement. No one goes down there all day and no
one goes in at night because the basement entrance is blocked off, but a light is always on. When entering the building in either of the two towers, if you
are to sit on the stairs alone, you can hear faint noises, which are undetermined, however, there is no one else in the tower to create such noises.
Hannah is her name. This descendant of Valentine Hill is believed to be the home's most restless spirit. Over the years we have found Hannah to be quite fond of
electronics and to enjoy playing hide and seek with a variety of inordinate objects. It is believed that Hannah does not like change and makes this very well known when
new equipment with a power cord is brought on to the property. This often times has forced the Inn to seek outside assistance with help for something as simple today
as a new computer or copy machine which has stumped our vendors as to why certain items will not properly work. The numbers have appeared backwards on a calculators ten
key. While printing one page from a computer several pages have began printing even after the computer and printer were turned off and unplugged leaving the printer without power continuing
to print for nearly twenty minutes until the paper was gone. Hannah has a special affection towards some of the Inns employees. The Inn is staffed 24 hours a day
therefore the Inn has an employee stay overnight. On one occasion, an employee was sleeping to be awoken by someone playing with her hair. Aware that Hannah is often around,
she simply tucked her hair into her nightgown and told Hannah to go to bed. On another occasion another employee was fast asleep, again, awoken by the sound of someone
walking around our front parlor. Quickly the employee went downstairs and found every drawer in the armoire, desk and filing cabinet pulled out by exactly one inch. On occasion Hanna
has shown herself. One evening a former Chef was working in the food and beverage office late into the evening. Shortly after 1:00am the Chef locked the office and was
making way up the stairs from the Tavern to leave when a movement happened. Below the staircase is a railing that looks behind the bar. In looking down to see
what the movement was the Chef was shocked to see Hannah standing behind the bar area looking up at the Chef. Often times locks with deadbolts have a way of
locking themselves while no one is near. While a party from a local insurance company were dining in our Maples dining room during the holiday season the entire party witnessed
a glass from a table across the room where not a sole was near, pick itself up off the table and smash against the side of the table to land
in pieces on the floor. Much of the Staff and Guests alike have witnessed the shadow, face, touch or vintage clothing of this magnificent woman named Hannah. Given the history of
the Inn it is believed that several spirits other than Hannah reside in this home today. Guest have made mention of footsteps and moving furniture above their heads during the
night while there were not any guest above them to have made any sounds.

below the old mansion.
this place is on Bear Hill road it is a very old house, most of the kids call it "the plague house" a long time ago people who were infected
with the plague virus or any other virus that people couldn’t cure, they would leave them in that house to die. They took the bodies out in the woods and
buried them deep so that animals wouldn’t get to them and spread the virus. soon after they took the bodies out, they too would die themselves and fall where ever
they landed. Now you can see what everyone calls "the white ghost" it will come around only when you do, also how can you forget the painful moans and screams.

Averill Stand Historic Site was built in 1787, and was for many years the stagecoach stop between Bennington and Brattleboro on what is now Route 9. The Averill family managed
the stagecoach stand on the site, hence the name Averill Stand, as well as the tavern and Inn. The family cemetery is on a small plot of land adjacent to
the old pasture, and contains the bodies of many of the house's former occupants. One of those, Lavina Field Averill, is believed to have died in childbirth in the home,
and it' is thought that she may be the spirit who has, several time, placed missing items on the kitchen counter. One visitor reports having seen a young woman in
old clothing in the dining room. At night, always between 10:30 and 11:40, the current occupant's dogs run to the back door, barking, and watch someone or something, cross the
back yard and walk to the old driveway. Some unseen being repeatedly rings the doorbell on snowy nights, leaving no trace of human footsteps. Perhaps it is Lavina, or perhaps
it's Mrs. Brown, the wife of former lumber baron Martin Brown, who lived in the home for many years in the early 1900's, and died there. Mrs. Brown is known
to visit at least one of the adjoining houses, in which she also resided. The house is noted for the repeated observations of spirit-sensitive folks for the warmth and friendliness
and welcoming feel of the place, which many attribute to the spirits of the house.

strange sightings since then up to present day when cleaning late at night, especially after sporting events. Ghostly happenings include lights flicking on and off, lockers mysteriously opening and slamming
shut all down the hall, echoing voices in the gym...etc. But perhaps most frightening, the sound of wheels rolling along the gym floor, echoing the coffins being rolled into the

Charles M. Keller, principal from January 1985 - June 1992, learned of strange happenings when he arrived for duty - lights going off for no reason during the day and
strange things at night. Teachers working late or at night would have feelings that someone was watching them, strange rapping sounds, and one teacher saw an apparition of a man.
Mr. Keller wrote a ghost story called, "Jake, The Ghost", as a Halloween story for the children, teachers, and staff in 1985. The story brought forth more reports of strange
behavior from the staff. One teacher working late one evening heard scuffing footsteps coming down the hall toward her classroom. When she investigated she saw nothing but the steps were
still coming toward her! She was so scared she climbed out the window, ran across the street to one of the neighbors and called her husband for help! It was
not until the summer of 2006 Mr. Keller learned the identity of the ghost. He is a writer of children's poems and stories and wanted further research on his story
of the ghost. In September 1903 there was a Chinese race riot. The local labor union for some reason decided to run all the Chinese people out of town. During
the riot a Chinese man by the name of Ping Ling was badly beaten and hit over the right eye with a hatchet. He decided to walk out of town
and leave the area. He bled to death on the road. That road now is the same one that is between Silver Rim School and the Mormon LDS Church. Silver
Rim School was not built until 1980. Where the ghost of Ping Ling was until that time is uncertain. Why he chose to take up residence of the school is
another mystery. Mr. Keller is certain Ping Ling means no harm to the people in the building. He is not seen or heard during the day when there are activities
in the school. But at night he is quite active and curious. However, Mr. Keller made many trips back to the school at night, especially during the winter, to check
security and the heating system. He never encountered Ping Ling on any of his trips. He could only surmise Ping Ling respected him.

your car. It is believed that your car will stall and will not start again until the pork is taken out of your car. Some locals believe that is the
menehune (meh-neh-hoo-neh), mischievous, elflike creatures, that stops you. Others believe it is because Kamapua'a(kah-mah-po-ah-ah), the giant, nine-eyed boar god who lives in the forests of Kaneohe, won't allow you to
pass until the pork is taken out of your car. And this means going in either direction- from Honolulu to Kaneohe or Kaneohe to Honolulu. Many locals, to this day,
practice this custom whether they believe or not.

going back 30 years or more. The haunting is not harmful, just unsettling. Running feet, indistinct whispering, unintelligible talking at a distance and footsteps are heard. No reports of missing
or moving objects. A few instances of very loud crashes, like a wall full of items fell to the floor. Upon investigation, nothing is found. One photographer saw a fleeting
figure run out of the old developing room, across the hallway and into a cinder block wall. Figure was tall, black pants, white shirt and dark hair. Matches description of
a photographer who died of natural causes at home years ago. Speculation that he's back, because he enjoyed working there so much. All activity occurs in the front half of
the building, which is the oldest. An addition was built in the early 1980s, doubling the size of the building. No activity reported in this new addition. The older, front
portion of the building is scheduled to be refurbished in the near future. This will mean tearing out some walls, redoing the rooms and a major makeover. How this will
affect the current strange activity remains unknown.

first road to the west of Twister's or around 2 miles east of Shell Creek School, When you take the road and are heading north you will go over this
little hill. On top of the hill, sometimes you will see around 5-6 orange lights near the creek. They do not have the shine around them such as incandescent. We
suspect it to be fires. Then you will go a little ways out and see a diesel tank to run the irrigation systems. Follow the road to the left. At
this point it gets very narrow. Keep following the road. You will come across another diesel tank that says "Stay Out". If you chose to go past this, following up
to the left is a large bump/rising in the road and you rise slightly in elevation. There will be many stacks of old pipes here. There will be no real
good place to turn around so you might have to do some 3-point turns. Honk your horn when you think you can't go any farther on the road. The horn
should sound very distant, not like it was coming from your engine, almost as if it was coming from all around you.

"The Regular" Bill Wolcott was an older gentleman who, for years, dined at Brother Sebastian's almost every evening. Wolcott had his peculiarities: he often dressed in a formal smoking jacket
complete with an ascot tie; he always dined in the lounge, always at the same seat. Unfortunately, Wolcott was stricken with cancer. Although treatments were painful he continued to dine
at Brother Sebastian's, even while he was hospitalized. When Wolcott became so ill that he could no longer swallow solid food, the kitchen staff pureed his meals for him. At
some point during this time Wolcott began draping a towel over his head while he was in public; but for some reason he was drawn to his favorite dining spot.
Wolcott, it appears, felt so comfortable at Brother Sebastian's that he continues to frequent the restaurant even after his death. The last report of Wolcott's ghost occurred on the night
of the restaurant’s grand re-opening. A woman seated in one of the back dining rooms complained that someone was staring at her and making her uncomfortable. The "Someone" to whom
she referred was the face of an old man that the woman claimed was in the stones that make up the wall of the room. Two of the staff also
witnessed, late one night after the restaurant was closed and all the doors were locked. They were the only people inside, they saw a swinging door at the rear of
the bar open fully, stopped moving as if someone were walking through the threshold, and closed. Anyone who has been inside the building knows that a random wind breezing through
to swing doors open and closed is unlikely: Just like the original building (before the 1995 fire), the new structure has no windows. Sometimes in restaurants an employee closes the
establishment one night and opens the business the following morning. More than one server has stated that a candle that they knew was snuffed out the previous night was burning
the next morning.

you. It is possible this was a former dean or janitor. The ghost sounds like a janitor because you might here broom sweeps in the hallway, but it seems like
a dean because it waves in the dean’s office when the door was locked. Be patient, they are sure to show up. Also heard creaking at a distance and wheels
moving on wooden floors.
In Omaha, there is a city park on the northern outskirts named Hummel Park. The background of this park is very macabre to begin with. In the early 1900's, Lynch
mobs would ride through town and hang or otherwise mutilate any black people that happened to be in sight. They hung so many black people that the trees still bow
over the road leading to Hummel Park. The weird part is that young trees and even the grass lean toward the road outside the park and even inside the park.
Apparitions, mists, Indian drums playing at night, wolves howling. Supposed old Indian burial grounds on sight. Also, reports of the morphing stairs. It is a staircase which is roughly 200
stairs long. The word, "roughly" is used because every time you go up and or down it you will count a different number of stairs. There is a staircase at
Hummel Park that if you walk up to the top and count the stairs going up, it will be less than the number of stairs going down, it is called
the stairway to hell because of this. There have been many reports of animal sacrificing in the park. There is also a cult of albinos that live in the park,
supposedly. But be careful of crazy people out there if you decide to go. - October 2007 Update: Parts of the steps are missing and falling apart so your count
will always be different. Be careful.

At Omaha South High School, there is a ghost. The ghost's name is Gus. About 20-25 years ago there was a tornado drill. So everyone had to go to the
"Catacombs" as we call them. This was a part of the building that was built when the performing arts part of the building was built. It was the 50's so
it was built, to be a nuclear fallout shelter. Well during this tornado drill everyone went down to the catacombs. Gus, a janitor for the Performing Arts part of the
building, thought that they would be there for a while. So he went to the "Rat Room" to get some provisions for everyone. He closed the door behind him, went
to get a barrel of food, when it fell on him, and crushed his head. He was not found until he had been dead for a while. Now Gus still
roams the Performing Arts section of the building, even after it was remolded about 10 years ago. The strange thing is that if you are in a play there and
you don't believe in Gus he will mess you up. As in you mess up your lines, cues, entrances, etc. He also likes to be in the Green Room, which
is right next to the Catacombs; he leaves lights on and open doors.

guests during the late spring through early fall months. In 1944, a schoolgirl died of a heart attack brought upon by a poisoning. According to local "lore" the girl's clarinet
reed was poisoned, killing her. Several former teachers have talked about cold drafts, strange noises, and a generally eerie feeling at times in the old school - as well as
one teacher who wants to remain anonymous who thought that he actually saw an apparition for a split second. Numerous people in town (including myself) have said that they can
hear music coming from the old music room (the school hasn't been open but as a museum since 1978, and no instruments are left in the school - though the
music room has been turned into a "bell" room for the museum). A select few people have reported seeing chimes moving inside the building with no drafts, rocking chairs rocking with
no one in them, etc.
Once in what is now the old gym there was a stage that is now the wrestling room and it is said that in 1955 a boy fell from the

up there that blood will appear on the floor and you can hear a crowd screaming. At night you can see a boy fall on a tree and then disappear.
Don't believe me come to the office and ask to go to the wrestling room.
There are three ghost stories here, One is that me and my friends were playing in the band room and we saw a black little girl running into a shed

61. They saw that a little girl around seven was shoved in there by her drunk sisters and left there to die. The handle to the locker was broken of
when we first heard about it. A couple hours later a teacher opened it and there was all of the books. The last thing in that they say that a
scientists was doing an experiment and he blew him-self up. Now we the girls play four-square and hear strange noises and the lights flicker on and off every now and
then.

each train ride back in Six Flags' early history. No noise comes from the apparitions, however. They just walk by as if going to wait for the next train to
come by so they can have their hourly shoot-out with the conductor and the engineers.

left and passed over the first hill, go to the next hill bottom and stop. Put your car in neutral and it will go all the way to the top
of the next hill. It is said that a witch is buried around there. The only evidence of her grave is located in the swamp, about 300 yards from Highway
129. It is a strange pile of rocks stacked about 5 feet high with nothing growing around it. Legend has it that the witch exacted a toll on this trail
about 200 years ago. If you paid her price, she would help you cross over the ridges. The locals left her alone and occasionally called upon her during a drought.
The witch died of natural causes around 1850. Since she could not be buried on holy ground in a church cemetery, the locals took her body to the swamp. It
is believed that she helps people over the ridge because of the kindness the local people showed to her.
The older employees at Town Hall will talk about "Little John" inhabiting the house. Town Hall operates out of what used to be a residence built in approximately 1910 by
of one of the Braseltons. The place later because a boarding house/hotel, an event house for weddings and then eventually the city renovated it in the late 90's and used
to it to house its town hall, police department and water utility office. Older employees talk about things being moved, odd knocking and footsteps on the stairwell after the close
of business, and opening up the business in the morning to find closed/locked desk drawers opened. Most recently, two employees were standing in the upstairs landing in broad daylight talking
when they heard an odd knocking coming from one of the interior closets near the window that is near the attic. One of the police department canines visibly refuses to
enter a downstairs conference room that was originally a formal dining room. Little John was at first thought to be some sort of myth created by one of the former
patrol division members to delight and scare the female staff members, but some current and some retired employees can tell of the oddities that have sometimes occurred in the house.
"Little John" was supposedly a son of one of the Braseltons that had some slight mental problems. Little John allegedly occupied the house for a while and used to pick
up stray dogs as pet. He and the dogs mostly resided in the attic until his death. Although rarely talked about, there is also a report of one of the
former Braselton matrons being seen in the downstairs bathroom. Prior to the house becoming the Town Hall, it was sometimes used for wedding receptions and other events. Supposedly, a guest
at one of the weddings proclaimed to be a psychic and he told of seeing people dressed in formal attire from the twenties standing in the hall and of seeing
the Braselton female in and around the bathroom. Being that no harm ever seems to be done, some of the employees just laugh when things occur and write it off
as Little John being in the house. Some other employees are a little creeped out do not like staying late or by themselves in the building.

darkness. Some say it's the ghost of an unknown man whose head was severed in a train accident. He swings a lantern in a futile search for his missing part.
Others say the "light" is the glow of the lantern swung by two lovers in their effort to stop the train late at night. Their parents forbid them to see
each other, thus they planned this escape but were shot by her father who thought they were prowlers. The "light" is a ghostly reminder of their tragic love.

There is a bridge off Carver Mill Road in western Pickens County that at one time some 50-60 years ago used to be wooden, that crossed over Scarecorn Creek. Years
ago, this couple drove across the bridge and it collapsed on them, thus causing them to fall into the creek below killing them both. The bridge now is paved and
well supported. You can drive onto the bridge anytime at night and shut the car off and all artificial light(flashlights, headlights, cell-phone background lights, pager blinking red lights, etc.)must be
shut off and wait patiently in the car and this black figure of an average size man will walk from the end of the bridge and to your car and
look into the windows. If a woman is in your car it will most likely go to her first and will continue to examine your car. If you crank your
car, without turning on your lights, and begin to drive off, the man will chase you until you are off the bridge. Then the ghost will disappear into the night.
The ghost is there to try to scare people off the bridge so that they won't face the same fate that the couple did. BEWARE: The ghost doesn't always walk
right to your car. Sometimes it just appears at your window and can scare you plum to death. It is best if you do this during a full moon so
that there is plenty of "natural" light to see the ghost with.

tragic accident that occurred at Berry. After making love, the young man and young woman got into an argument, and the boy left his girlfriend in the woods to walk
home alone while he drove. After driving a little while, he felt sorry and turned around to pick her up. On the way back, he wasn't paying attention to the
road and he hit something. Assuming it was a deer, he got out to look--and it was his lover! She was dead. To this day, students at Berry say that

light will appear in the trees. This is her spirit.

This Inn was built in 1790 and is haunted by a girl named Anna She was a seventeen year old girl who was shunned after getting pregnant by a sailor.
The sailor was said to have jumped out of the third story window and died. He haunts the same room the window was located. Guests claim to lose things such
as wallets, ID's, and underclothes. They will later be found in planters or behind bookshelves. People have also reported hearing Anna in the room moving things around. - December
2003 Update/ Correction: The story is that she was in love with a sailor, but HE did NOT jump from the window... SHE DID. (He had gone to sea and
was not there to throw himself out of a window) She was deeply depressed because he was going to sea and leaving her, most likely never to return. It is
said that she could see the sails of his boat as it went down river and out to sea. She threw herself from a 3rd floor window. There is also
said to be a woman who haunts the kitchen in the inn who used to practice voodoo, and a spirit haunts the bar/restaurant area. The submitter claims to have taken
photos throughout the inn, but have not caught any anomalies on film. However, when they tried taking pictures in the bar area, their camera suddenly failed to work. Once they
left the area, the camera functioned with no problem. They also had to buy new batteries twice in one weekend, as if something had drained them. On the second floor
a linen closet, they felt a foreboding presence. Later, when talking to a housekeeper at the inn, they were told she had had a dream once of a man clad
in 1700's clothing coming out of that same closet. She had no idea that they had a really creepy feeling each time they walked by it. The second time they
stayed at the 1790's they remarked to the clerk as they checked in, that at least they weren't going to have to sleep in "Anna's room". The clerk told them
that the window she threw herself from was not actually her bedroom at the time... her bedroom was room 101... which is the room they was staying in! When they
reached the room and preceded to unlock the door, it wouldn't open. Both she and her husband tried, the bottom lock was unlocked, but the deadbolt wasn't. They had knocked
on the door, jokingly saying, "Anna... come on, open up." They returned to the innkeeper and she went up with us to check out the problem. She informed them that
the deadbolts could only be locked from the inside and the innkeeper has a master key for those. She pushed down on the door handle and the door opened with
no problem! It was if the deadbolt had never been locked, yet they BOTH knew that it had been. The 1790's Inn (is actually spelled out as Seventeen Hundred Ninety's
Inn, in case you want to search the net for it) is most definitely filled with an atmosphere of spirits from the past, you can feel it all around you
if you are sensitive to that kind of thing. They heard noises in the room at night, and guests have been known to leave in the middle of the night
after seeing apparitions and hearing strange sounds.

this is that a man had drowned his wife in this river for insurance money back in the 30's. He went nuts and finally told the police where to find
her body. But no trace of her had ever been found. The story goes that if you go to the bridge, put your front tires BARELY on the bridge, turn
off your lights, lock your doors, and place your keys upon the hood of the car, walk to the other end of the bridge turn around and come back, while
you're walking across the bridge you'll see a light out in the middle of the river, floating on top of the water, you run back to your car, and your
doors will be unlocked, engine running, and lights on. Don't know how to explain this one.
Lights go on and off. Objects are moved. The outline of a young man can be seen moving through several of the rooms and in the auditorium
In the 1840s a werewolf was reported to be killing sheep in Talbot County. So many animals were butchered that a $200 dollar reward was offered to anyone that could
kill the werewolf. An odd young girl named Isabella Burton was suspected of being the beast. Whenever she'd leave town, the creature would not be seen nor would any livestock
be disturbed, but when she'd return the killings would begin again. One night, a hunter claimed to have wounded the animal, and the next day Isabella had a wound in
the same location. After that, the werewolf went away and the killings stop. Isabella is buried in a church cemetery somewhere in Talbot, and people say her spirit still howls
at night.

and driving and he was put out as a prank because of the screams from the girl killed in the 40's. he fell off the bridge and drowned in the
river. He can be seen waiting for his friends to return to pick him up.

was known as Warren's Blue Bayou, formerly the Bell House (named after James Bell, who built it around the turn of the century) and currently known as Vito's Restaurant. Although
they did not get any emf readings, temperature drops, or evp's, they did manage to get an orb photo. The images are very clear and bright. They had it analyzed
by professional developers who could not explain it as a developing error or any kind of reflection. They are attempting to get the current owner's permission to investigate further. One
orb photo may not seem like much, but Mr. Warren related stories about his employees stacking chairs on the table so they could mop, only to turn around and have
them back on the floor again. Also, he alleges that as he sat in his office doing paperwork, he felt a forceful thump on his chest. When he looked down,
there was a wet spot approximately the size of a man's fist on his chest.

and other items can often be heard. In the classroom, the motion sensor light turns on when the door is locked and nobody is in there. Footsteps up the steps

Workers will very clearly hear their name called, even with the roaring of machinery.
Reports of a spectral stagecoach, & apparitions of men carrying a coffin.
Though much of it unconfirmed highway 70 between Matador and Paduca, TX has a lot of deadly history. Many car accidents have occurred here. The nearest hospital being over 80
miles away many accident victims do not survive. Driving through at night can give you a complete sense of dread. Some drivers claim that on the highway the became very
agitated wondering if what they were feeling was real. Wondering if they were alive or dead. Paranoia is the strongest emotion felt here. Many have claimed to see lights and
refractions coming from the Matador Cemetery. This desolate highway has very little to offer in the way of peace. It however has much to offer in the way of death.

such a danger that the city closed the road off. Witnesses become overwhelmed by a sense of dread and of being watched, even in broad daylight. In the 80s, a
Dallas man killed a young woman and her young son and dumped their bodies on that dark and brooding road (this is easily checked, as the case was just solved
in the last year or so).

This old mission has just recently been open to the public. In the mission's heyday, priests were rumored to be having intercourse with the nuns and burying the children's bodies
on the grounds. One night some illegal emigrants, who were aware of what was going on, went in and killed two of the priests. The third priest went to get
help, but died while searching. The robes and bones of the priests were on display up until a couple of years ago. Thereafter, it became an asylum for the mentally
challenged. Many of the people working there reported seeing figures in robes walking around the grounds at night. The asylum shut down completely recently, but the grounds are still open
to tourists during the day. You may not be able to go inside the old mission, but it is still worth going the trip.

Griffith Hall - 3rd Floor - A female resident assistant jumped out of her window after playing with a Ouija board. Her spirit is said to Haunt the floor. The
lights in the community shower flicker at the same time every night which is said to be the time she died. Residents have reported seeing a girl at the end
of the hall in tattered clothes and when they look back she is gone. Also, around 2AM every night, people on the South wing here footsteps running by. One resident
has reported watching out the peephole and seeing no one but feeling a gust of air rush under her door as if someone had ran by. - Febuary 2005 Update:
no longer used as a dorm, but a women's dorm at one time
Mays Hall 11 - Before the building was a dormitory, it was a hospital, with a morgue in the basement. On the other end of the building is a deep,
ruined bomb shelter from the early 40s ar 50s. In the basement is a very negative feeling, very hard to describe. It is usually locked, but occasionally residents break in
and wander around. It is mild there though. The bomb shelter has been locked for years but last year was broken into. Recently we discovered what appears to be a
false wall in there, because the lining on the wall ends (no one noticed before because of the lighting and the junk all over the floor).. The negative feeling from
the basement is present in the bomb shelter too, but grows as you near the false wall. Dorm residents are curious to explore but don't want to get caught. No
one knows any specific stories, but we all speculate it would have to deal with someone dying in one fo the hospitalrooms. No ideas about what's behind the false wall,
though. - Febuary 2005 Correction:there was never a morgue. The first floor of the original wing was the campus clinic which did have a couple of overnight observation rooms, but
the city hospital was (and still is) less than half a mile away and the campus clinic was never used for long term care. The clinic closed when the "short
wing" was built in the 60's, and the clinic was renovated into rooms (which is why those rooms resemble the short wing rooms more than the rooms above. The false
wall in the bomb shelter and it was a bomb shelter at one time it still had emergency rations (not sure if they are still there) covers an alcolve that

enjoy the dogs' company, and she tends to sit at the bench closest to the school - anyone who stands near or sits on that bench at night is sure

Caribbean Apartments - Now known as the Willow Run apartments. These apartments have been in business for over 60 years. Before they were turned into apartments, it was a Motel
business. The doors were painted in light yellow and blue pastels. Existing in what used to be the outskirts of town and just outside of Castle Hills, it would bring
many customers of all races and origins. It was during this time that a rape and murder occurred in the North end of the complex. Every now and then in
the middle of the night a woman's cry can be heard in the rear hallways. And in one of the apartment units, a suicide where a single mother overdosed on
pain medication leaving her two year old to fend for herself. The child eventually died of starvation. The mother's body was found on the bed. The child's body was found
on the floor next to the bed. It is unknown whether the overdose was accidental or intentional. When this particular apartment is empty the occupants of the downstairs apartment can
hear the pitter patter of little feet walking up and down the upstairs unit. On occasion, a woman can be heard crying. Loud thumps can also be heard. Lights turn
on and off by themselves and the toilet will flush on it's own. An occupant of the downstairs apartment noted that her young daughter told her "she was playing with
a little girl". Believing that the child had an imaginary playmate, the mother discounted her little daughter's claims. Until one evening while the mother was sitting in the living room
watching TV and her little girl was playing in the hallway with a small toy, she saw her daughter toss the small toy across the hallway into the front bedroom.
The door had been left open. Then she heard her daughter talk to this imaginary friend to "give it back". To the mother's surprise, something or someone tossed the small
toy back to her daughter. The mother kept watching and realized that there really was "someone or something" there. On another occasion while sleeping, she felt the touch of little
fingers playing with her toes or gently tugging at her blankets. The apartment where the "suicide" took place is constantly vacant. Tenants seem to come and go and never stay
longer than three years. And when the apartment is occupied, the "occurrences" diminish and or are none existent until the apartment is vacant again.

common things that happen are rambling voices talking next to you or just passing you like a real person. Sometimes your stuff will disappear in a place where you're all
alone and you'll find it in a totally wrong place like another part of the plant just sitting there in plain site. The men that work there are so use
to the encounters that it has become something that just happens once in awhile.

in this town and especially in the hotel on the second floor. If you go up the stairs, walk straight towards the wall without turning, and then look to your
left, the open door there is where one of the spirits resides. Beware, though, because he's not nice. It's a great place if you want a sensory overload. If you
can't find it... it's on the state map. It's worth going to see.

like a hooded poncho that is blowing, and waving in the wind, can be seen drifting (floating with no feet) around the RV Park. Before the RV Park was built,
in the late 1960s with anticipation, and the start of construction on the Libby Dam, this place was called the Riverside Inn. It was a steak house, gas station, mobile
home park, and mobile motel (house of ill repute). Construction workers and others gathered here after work to let loose, and do who knows what else. It is said that
vagrants, and squatters called the Riverside Inn home. They camped in the woods behind the Inn with hopes of landing a job on the Dam. A few years after the
Libby Dam was completed, the Riverside Inn burnt, and was never rebuilt. Who knows what happened to the ones who never landed a job? How did they survive with little
or no food, and the harsh winter weather in Montana? Could some poor lost soul, still be wandering, and waiting with the hopes of landing a job on the Libby
Dam? Did something horrible happen to this person before their time, and they will not rest until their wrong is righted? You be the Judge!

The town that dreaded Sundown. A couple was there making out and were murdered. Rumor is that the girl was tied to a tree and stabbed to death, if you
stand by that tree, you feel rope being tied around you. - October 2005 Update/ Additional Info: The story is that they both were victims of the notorious Phantom
Killer of Texarkana in 1946. They have gotten out of the High School prom and went to a make out spot although they were told not to go there since
the Phantom hadn't been caught. The girl was indeed tied to a tree and stabbed, but in a rather unique way: the Phantom tied his knife to the slider of
her trombone and pretended to play it while simultaneously stabbing her. Today the Phantom Killer is STILL at large

little boy run up to the concession stand and when you look up no one it there. At all the theatres everyone has seen trash cans roll up ramps and
cold spots through out the buildings. The ghost only seems to mess with you if there is nothing "fun" going on. - June 2008 Additional information: A Former employee that
worked there in 1994 and 1995 as a projectionist. The story is that a woman named Dorothy fell out of an upstairs door that they used to load food and
candy before the theater was bought by Cinemark. Apparently she broke her neck and died. The doors are still there, but have been padlocked shut. There is a 25 foot
drop-off straight to the ground outside if you stepped through the door. When he worked there, you could say "Dorothy" and a film would always break within the next few
minutes. They would always hear foot steps on the upstairs catwalk when we first entered the building in the morning when nobody was in the building. They would often see

Baylor Residential - Formerly listed as Brooks Hall - At Baylor University, the oldest college in the state of Texas, exists a mysterious phantom on the abandoned fifth floor of
the oldest dorm on campus. Violin music is heard in the dead of night and chilling sightings of a cloaked figure in top hat and cloak staring down and illuminated
by an eerie candlelight have been widely reported by spooked residents. Investigations have wielded little fact but the enormous amount of eyewitness accounts and spine tingling sightings have given the
legend a grand following. One night the shattering of glass was reported as the phantom peered down and paused his playing and in a fit of apparent rage struck a
window. Come morning when level heads prevailed and the storm of the previous night had passed, no damage was found. Still the unpredictable toiling of the phantom have attracted audiences
in the witching hour in hopes of catching a glimpse of the mysterious floating candlelight that often hovers from room to room and then vanishes only to appear in the
other wing of the building. One unsettling account recollects the viewing of a noose and dangling of a shadowy corpse after the phantom finished the evening’s mournful serenade. Still more
haunting is the episode on record of the lights failing the building and an ungodly tapping and cold sensation filtrating the respective doors of the fourth floor of the building.
Only one resident dared investigate the unwelcome visitors calling. It is claimed that he peered into pitch darkness to find the horrific silhouette of a cloaked figure in a top
hat turn and stare him down through the darkness and calmly vanish out of sight as he glided parallel down the corridor, needless to say it was not pursued. The
university has failed to satisfy rumors of hauntings and has downplayed the events for close to half a century now. The Victorian styled villain who roams the corridors of the
uninhabited floor and occasionally mingles with the living loves to make an entrance, the hoax is to elaborate for any collegiate prankster and the tradition has endured for too long.
Perhaps the only explanation is that the phantom is ultimately unexplainable. - October 2007 Update – This old hall was recently torn down. A new Baylor residential college has been
built in it's place.
Lindsy Hollow Road - Two alleged horse thieves use to hang out on Lindsey Hollow Road. The bodies of the two brothers were found hanging from a tree about 100

– An investigator reports that it is unknown if this place even exists. They talked to a park representative, from the Waco Parks and Recreation Dept and the representative’s response
was, "Yes, we've heard about this place, but it's not in the park." The authors of "Weird Texas" claim that Witch's Castle is really Proctor Springs in Cameron Park. This
isn't the case either. There is no building at all at Proctor Springs; there are just picnic tables.

This Restaurant is haunted by past residents named Eliza Richards, who died at age 77 in 1925, and her son Jesse Thomas Richards, who died at age 68 in 1937.
Eliza is the "Elizabeth" Her spirit appears as her younger self, a girl of about 19, the age she was at her first marriage, a happier time for her. It
is how she projects herself now, from memory. The "old farmer, Will" is her son J.T. Richards, who was the local meat cutter and grocer from the early 1900s until
his death in 1937. The third ghost, Carrie, has been correctly identified. Caroline Jenkins Mooney lived in the house from the 1950s until her death in 1970. Waitresses and customers
are always reporting strange things that happen--rude patrons having plates dumped on them, cold spots in the bathroom. Pictures have been taken that show a slender young woman in outline
form. One is a farmer, one is an old woman who lived there, and one is a young girl who was murdered on her wedding day in the house. Supposedly
a burglar attempted to burglarize the safe one night and seemed to leave in a hurry. - September 2004 update: The Catfish Plantation, which was partially burned in 2003, is
now back up and open for business. The owners say that the three ghosts (Elizabeth, Will, and Caroline) are still present.

Just north of Andrews, Texas, west of Highway 385, is the original location of the county seat of Andrews County, Shafter. It was named after a Union Army Soldier of
the same last name. The town was almost completely wiped out by a smallpox epidemic around the turn of the last century, possibly sometime before 1910. Up until about ten
years ago, the cemetery where the victims were buried was located on the near edge of the small lake (which comes and goes as it pleases), but the bodies were
moved and reentered elsewhere. Legend was that a "lady in white" haunted the graveyard, possibly the reason for its removal. Sometime during the fall of the year, you may also
see a troop of Confederate soldiers and their horses galloping across the lake, usually during a full moon. Most think it is General Shafter and his men, who did patrol
that area before it was settled, trying to escape Comanche Indians pursing them. By the way, the lake wasn't (and isn't) always there. It just appeared sometime in the forties,
according to my mother, who lived in the area from 1948 on. The water is very salty, not good for anything, and there is no explanation for its being there
at all.
An old metal bridge in the outskirts is supposedly haunted by some hanging victim. It is extremely loud if you drive on it and if walked upon footstep can be

The story was covered by the television series Unsolved Mysteries about a year ago. Many residents from Anson and the near town of Abilene have gone to witness these phenomenal
lights. The cemetery is located going towards the country. The lights are viewed by driving down the dirt farm road equivalent of about a half mile or more. As you
drive closer to the cemetery towards the lights they disappear. As for the actual story for this occurrence, is unsolved. Local myth says that this light is the ghost of
a mother carrying a lantern looking for her missing child. The child had left the house on cold winter day and was lost and froze to death. The mother's spirit
still searches for her child.

back there there's an opening in the trees were you can see into the field around you. well if you flash your lights toward that opening then you'll see this
18 wheeler-diesel (w/o a trailer) coming right at you. If you don't leave right then it will come to you.
There used to be a railroad track here. A long time ago the city burnt down twice because of the trains throwing sparks, so they decided to just take up

sleep! You can see the light on the front and hear it blow its whistles! But it never stops it just goes right through town.
A big house on a hill where a boy murdered his family in the 90's. It's said that if you go into the house mysterious people run out, weird noises
our heard like footsteps, doors slamming, windows breaking. - November 2003 Update: The house was built in the 40's. The whole area around it was a ranch, and that's where
the family lived. The murders happened in the 60's or early 70's. There are two stories; the first being the family had a retarded son they kept in the cellar,
but not abusively. He lived down there, had everything he need, bathroom, bed, television. There is a large walk in freezer down there too. Apparently he murdered his parents and
kept the bodies in the freezer, and eventually died himself. The second story is that The kid that lived there wasn't retarded, and after his parents died of natural causes
lived there. It's said he was a pedophile and a child murderer and would kill children and hide their bodies in the freezer. Right now it's zoned for commercial use,
so companies keep buying the property with plans to level it and put a building there. About two or three weeks later, they'll sell it. Reports of a family who
bought it and started to renovate it. New shingles, new windows, all the graphite on the outside is gone, but 3 weeks later, all work on the house stopped. Right
now there is a fence around the property, and the road has been lowered, but you can still see it. - March 2007 Update: Burned down Summer 2006

should be buried where their happy doing what they loved. So me and my friend took my dad to home depot on brodie, mainly the garden section because their were
people around. I let my father's ashes go their because he had a love for making things and helping people. His name is Herbert, nick name herb. I am a
little freaked out about this because I wanted to do right by him by placing him where he loved to shop and run up his home depot credit card! He

will find it."

Correction/ update: After several interviews of personnel - no one that works at the DeWitt Perry Museum has seen or heard anything strange or "paranormal." One of the employees that
was spoken with has been with the museum for the past SEVEN years and they have never heard/seen anything to make them think the historical marker is haunted. The employees
think that the middle school kids that walk home each day might be freaked out by the house and are the ones who may have started this rumor. If you
would like a tour you can go to their website for details. No flash photography in the house and only certain parts of the property are on the tour itself.
Abigail reportedly died while storing boxes under the stage. Now she is sometimes seen on the catwalk, and plays with the gels on the spots. Students hit the stage with
a hammer 3 times to keep her from interfering with a show, and sometimes, when reviewing a tape of a show, they can spot her standing in the set's shadows.
- January 2007 Update / Correction: You can check yearbooks, newspapers, death records, and media and find that there was no Abigail or tragedies under the stage. However, even though
the story is fabricated, many say strange things happen to them while in the theatre. Noises can be heard. Some say a female voice can mimick your female voice from
around the theatre and give tech commands when you didn't give them. Is this because they know the "story" of Abigail or has the belief in Abigail and her story
made her a reality in the theatre? Or could it be someone else?

room) for most of the evening and into the night hours. When the pool closed a maintenance man told him that he would have to leave the pool was closed.
This is the last anyone would see of this gentleman because, the next day when he was supposed to check out and did not, a maid went to the room
to check things out. Upon walking into the room, she found the man had committed suicide with a 357. He had also left a $3.57 tip on the table. Many
have claimed to see a shadow walking around the pool at night in the windows of the rooms around the pool. Next, in the early 1980's, a boy scout group
had rented the entire 7th. Floor of the building. This is hard to accurately describe, since no one who was working there at the time cares to elaborate on any
details from this event, but all that was gathered is that the boy scout leader had apparently gone crazy and killed some of the scouts before being caught. When the
building was closed for the winter one year (Gatlinburg is a tourist town which is really only full for the summer and autumn months) an employee was making rounds through
the building and stopped on the 7 th. Floor and heard running and screams he ran to check for intruders only to find nothing, no rooms were rented in the
Tower that evening.

body under the bed. Then while leaving he went down the back stairwell outside beside the kitchen and found the other girl smoking, then he proceeded to strangle her as
well, and drug her body to the roof of the building (then easily accessible). Maids over the years have reported hearing noises from the bathroom and objects in the room
moving from one place to another, while cleaning the room.

Baker Peters Jazz Club is a known haunted site in Knoxville. Now a trendy & expensive Jazz bar, it was once a Civil War era residence. The baseline of the
story goes that the house was built by a Dr. James Harvey Baker. Dr. Baker's allegiances in the war are disputed; some have him on the side of the Confederates,
others have him as neutral. Either way, he did have at least one son that we know of named Abner who fought staunchly for the Confederates (other versions have Dr.
Baker with TWO sons on opposing sides of the war). During an invasion by the Union army in 1864, Dr. Baker was treating wounded Confederates in his home when the
Union army arrived and demanded the surrender of the men in the house. Dr. Baker refused and barricaded himself and in his bedroom. The Yankees invaded the house, raced upstairs
and shot him through the door. Upon returning home, 22 yr old Abner vowed revenge on the person who informed the Yankees that his father harbored Confederates. He did kill
the informer, a postmaster, but was later killed by the informer's friends in a return act of revenge. Legend has it that Abner has refused to leave the house that
he and his family fought so hard to retain. The house went through several changes of hands before becoming a jazz bar, which was likely very disrupting to whatever spirits
are there. Baker Peters claims to have a framed photo of what looks like Abner's ghostly reflection posted somewhere in the restaurant. Other accounts report employees experiencing chills, hearing whispering,
objects moving or being thrown from shelves and breaking, and even (in the early days) discovering a hanging candelabra in a dining room with the candle holders twisted downward.

Belmont Mansion - Adelicia Hayes first marriage, to a wealthy businessman, lasted seven years, in which their four children all died by age eleven. In 1849, her second marriage resulted
in the building of the Belmont mansion; it was built in the style of an Italian villa set in elaborate gardens. In fact, Adelicia opened the estate for the citizens
of Nashville, as there was no public park available. Her second husband died in the Civil War, and their twin daughters died of scarlet fever. Her third marriage took place
at Belmont Mansion. However, she sold Belmont in 1887 to move to Washington D.C. She died in D.C. later that year and was brought back to Nashville to be buried.
The Belmont mansion is now the center of Belmont University and of course the mansion has strict security due to random acts of collegiate vandalism. Security guards have reported seeing
Adelicia floating around and even setting off the motion detector a time or two. A psychic was secretly brought in once, and she reported that Adelicia was afraid her home
wouldn't be there much longer due to the campus renovation and expansion. The psychic also said Adelicia was looking for her children. The psychic didn't know anything about Adelicia's many
dead children. - January 2006 Update /Additional information: A 1999 Alumnus reports Adelicia is still around the mansion, but she never does or causes any harm. She has been seen
numerous times at different places throughout the mansion and it's grounds. It has also been known and reported that on more than one occasion, she has set off the motion
detectors in the middle of the night or other times the buildings are empty, and the security office has to go check things out and re-set the alarms. During any
expansions or renovations, the trustees as well as those in charge at Belmont are very careful not to disturb or mess up anything related the Mansion, as it is a
historical landmark as well as Adelicia's home. (A lot of the original furnishings and artwork are displayed in the mansion.) If you go to www.belmontuniversity.edu, you can read the history
of the mansion as well as the university, which was an all girls college for many years. One of it's most famous graduates was Grand Ole Opry star Sarah Cannon,
a.k.a. Minnie Pearl.

passenger was a woman and her infant baby. Throughout the years, several different types of people have reported hearing and seeing many strange things around those hills. The most popular
tale is that if you drive down Billy Hollow RD or Dean Hill RD anytime after dark, you can hear either/or a baby crying or its mother desperately trying to
locate it. Other stories include sightings of five strange-looking "people" walking alongside Billy Hollow RD. But when you turn around and go back to get a better look, there is
no one around, and nowhere that they could have disappeared to so suddenly, unless they simply vanished. Another story says that when you are driving one one of the two
roads, your car will suddenly die and as you try to start it back it won't start. Then just as you start to panic, your car roars to life once
again. Yet another unexplained incident in Tennessee's ghostly history.

name a few. Upon his capture, Aury was sentenced to hang in the gallows behind the jail. As word spread, a huge crowd gathered to witness the execution of this
famous criminal. The night before the hanging however, Aury managed to slit his own throat in effort to deprive the city of his humiliating spectacle. A surgeon was summoned to
crudely stitch him up just enough to keep him alive until the execution. With his collar buttoned to hide the wound, he was drug up the steps on his appointed
day. When the trap was sprung, the stitches ripped open, nearly decapitating him. Blood spewed into and all over the crowd. Women fainted, men screamed, and children were trampled as

that roams the second floor. She has been seen wearing a long gray dress with her hair pulled back in a bun. This is reportedly Sunshine Gibson, one of the
Gibson sisters that owned the hotel in the 1920's. A worker at the front desk claims one of the ghost has been calling their phone all night. Sometimes when the
phone rings, the switchboard lights up from rooms that are unoccupied. The only thing they hear on the receiver is a crackling noise. They’ve gotten phone calls from the kitchen
and the phone in the kitchen is not working. They also received a phone call from the boss' office even though he had left 2 hours earlier. The speaker on
the phone has come on by itself a couple of times also.

Construction on the old courthouse was completed in 1909; there is now a newer, much larger courthouse across the street from the older structure, and the old courthouse now houses
the Polk County Historial Museum and Genealogical Library. Although the 1909 courthouse was the third building to serve as the courthouse in Polk, it's only the second courthouse to have
been built on that particular plot of land (the one before that was built in 1883). The boiler room is located in one of the four basements (it's the basement
accessible by elevator only), and many years ago there was an explosion there, killing one male worker; staff, cleaning crews, and visitors have reported hearing screams of pain coming from
that basement. The bodies of the Mann brothers, who were lynched by a mob for murdering Marshall Silas Campbell in the street outside the courthouse, were brought and displayed for
several days in 1886 in the 1883 courthouse on the second floor the area of the old courthouse corresponds with the second floor rotunda of the 1909 courthouse - there
is a feeling of sadness there, and apparitions have been seen on the spot where the bodies were laid out. Also, near the second floor bathrooms and on the third
floor, the apparition of The Lady in White has been observed by many people - it isn't known who she is, and she could be one of several women who
had strong ties to the building. Strange things have been observed in a room containing ancient Native American artifacts on the first floor, from cold spots to malfunctioning lights. In
the actual 1909 courtroom, cold spots are felt and sometimes people feel something "brushing" against them - the exact cause isn't known because every trial from 1909 until the new
courthouse was completed in 1987 was held there, but it's believed it might be Judge Chillingsworth, who was murdered along with his wife in West Palm Beach and whose gangster
killers were tried in that courtroom.

gate that leads into walled graveyard. Moonlight was bright and there was a gathering fog. They report to have 2 evps- one alright-the other was GREAT!!! Cameras worked on test

directly link to the evp. That one shot with an orb and the evp of a girl say take a picture of me was worth the whole three hours I
spent in the cold. They suggest that anyone going to this site- DO NOT go alone- It seems to draw not so nice types people to it, especially at night.

the elevator went to one of the floors that at the time was not being used. It is known as the Bridal floor as a death occurred in a honeymooners
stay. People report of seeing the bride's ghost at that floor. The fact is that the elevator was disabled to stop at that floor. Another account was of a fellow

At the end of a dead end road there lies a historic trading post and general store that sits on stilts at the banks of the everglades. This was the
site where a rather large manhunt ended many years ago. A local farmer was shot and killed as he came ashore at the store one day. He had lived near
by, and operated a farm. He was found to be killing all his migrant workers at the end of the season, mutilating their bodies and dumping them in the glades
instead of paying them. When word got to shore that he had left his farm and was heading by boat to the Smallwood store the sheriffs and local towns folk
came to see this notorious killer. He was shot and killed on the banks and his farm later was burned. You get a feeling of uneasiness whenever near the store,
and that you should not walk under the store at any cost. (It sits on stilts and is about 5' off the ground) Store is seasonal. Get permission before doing
any investigating.

the police do happen by there every so often. Bewarned, you may get arrested for trespassing, so you may want to try to get permission first. The supposed booming noises
more than likely come from a drainage pipe that runs underneath the ground. If you tread hard enough, the sound hits the pipe and reverberates back.

man was brutally murdered by his wife on the staircase of their house which later became an antique store. When you come upon the second floor, the smell of cigar
smoke seems to follow you around and you never feel completely comfortable. The stair on which the man was killed makes a horrible sound whenever it is stepped on and
an old man was "pushed" down the stairwell on that exact stair a few years ago on Halloween night. The owners boarded it up after Florida experienced all of the
Hurricanes and there is no word on whether or not it will open again.

were wrongly done. The women use to die a few nights later. Students at Pace Center For girls reportedly heard women crying in pain, especially in the bathroom and the
small English classroom. No one has ever seen a ghost but has heard cries. The weird thing is, is that half the students who enter the small school always tends
to get sick. Who knows maybe the ghosts are trying to make these young girls feel their pain. Also people in Fort Pierce say that they have seen lights switching
on and off and verticals moving.

his mid-40's wearing a duster pacing the downstairs area. A younger man, whom is in no terms of the word 'shy' as he will in static motion creepily advance to
the front door, press palm and face against the glass and scare the passerby if they're caught staring and a little girl with shoulder-length curly hair, wearing a ruffled dress
around the ages of 5-7, looking sullenly out the window. Several more can be seen upstairs as well as looming in the hallways, nevertheless, their presence is very clear and
realistic like. Some cold spots and overwhelming energies, though experiences vary with the person.

formerly 7-11 - In the early 1980's in the town of Spring Hill which is outside the city of Brooksville there was a 7-11 convenience store which took in most
of this towns business. And since it sat along the towns main road it was easy to access Highway 19 to the west about 3 miles away, or the longer
haul 7 miles to the east. At one point during the night in the late 80's a drunk male came into the store to buy a case of beer. But
the clerk decided out of his own good will to not sell the case feeling the man was drunk enough already and did not want him to drive back to
the store later on. The man became angry yelling and cursing so on and so fourth. So instead of buying beer he decided he wanted a pack of cigarette’s. After
the purchase the clerk turned his back toward the man to grab some cleaning stuff from under the counter. At this point the man revealed a .357 revolver and shot
the clerk in the back of the head killing him instantly. Now the 7-11 has since moved and now it is a Hungry Howies pizzeria, and as the night moves
further on more this will happen. The saloon doors to the kitchen will swing open, cups and utensils will fall off the tables and onto the ground. The hanging lights
will start swinging back and fourth and the lights and arcade games will suddenly shut off. The strangest occurrence happened one night when one worker left the store one night
after setting up for a new promotion and came back a few hours later to help the owner for the early shift and found all the pictures and posters laying
on the ground or on the counters directly under where they were placed and the security camera tape was blank but yet still recording.

The Lighthouse - near St. Augustine, many spirits are here; one of a man who hung himself (when, not known), and one unidentified spirit in the basement of the keeper's
house. During the 1980's, when the keeper's house was being restored, workers spent the nights in the place to protect it from vandals. They would wake up in the middle
of the night to see a small girl in old-fashioned clothes watching them. She would then vanish. The workers would also sense things during their work and would look up
to see an apparition of a man hanging from a rafter. The spirit in the cellar has never been seen, but workers at the lighthouse all report an uneasy feeling
when they're down there alone, especially at closing time when the place is very quiet. There have also been stories of footsteps on the lighthouse stairs when there's no one
around. The guides there are very open about the ghosts. There are many good reasons for the lighthouse and keeper's house to be haunted: the man who hung himself, the
little girl who was killed by the train, a light keeper who fell to his death while painting the former lighthouse (very close to the newer one), and 13 executed
pirates who were buried behind the lighthouse. Also, there has been some form of a lighthouse on the site since Ponce De Leon in the 1500's. - Update about
the little girl spirit, it is believed that there are 2, They were daughters of the lighthouse keeper and of the foreman when the new lighthouse was being built further
up on the island. They used to play on the train-carts that were used to haul supplies from the water to the new location of the lighthouse. According to the
local historical society that provides tours of the area, the girls were playing on a cart with the daughter of the foreman. Apparently, the brake was loosened, sending the cart
hurtling toward the inlet below. Three of the 4 girls (2 of the keeper's daughters and the foreman's daughter) were not saved in time and drowned when the cart flew
into the water. Occasionally, you can hear girls giggling in the vicinity of the lighthouse, and the girl that appeared to the workers was also one of the daughters that
is more active than the others.

Also believed, When Flagler died; his funeral was held in the front hall of the college (the one with the tile floor). They had all the windows open so his
spirit could "fly away" instead of being trapped in the hall forever. As a janitor was passing by during the funeral, he noticed that all the windows and doors were
open, so he closed them. People felt a big gust of wind, supposedly Flagler’s spirit. It had not made it in time, all the windows and doors where shut. It
is said that his spirit hit a window and bounced back and landed in one of the tiles. So to this day, you in a certain tile to the left
of the doors and towards the back of the hall, there is the face of Henry Flagler.

met by a horrific sight, he’s dangling from the shower rods and his neck is nearly severed and he gets down and walks in to the wall with his head
hanging on his neck and disappears and a trail of blood follows him and he’s laughing in a really weird high pitched voice and suddenly a fierce wind starts blowing
and pins u up against the wall and the doors slam shut and 2 big pairs of red eyes looms out towards you.. And you hear a really high pitched
cackling afterwards then all of a sudden it stops the lights go back on again and you fall on the floor and it all looks normal as if nothing ever
happened. Upon research nothing has been found on any type of murder on the premises.

Cawthon Hall Dormitory- According to a story reported in the University newspaper, The Florida Flambeau during the summer of 1971, numerous students have related encounters over the years with a
poltergeist in an old dormitory. According to the report, several years prior to the University's becoming coed in 1949, a female student was sunbathing on a balcony on the roof
of the shadowy gothic building. As is typical in Florida, a sudden and particularly violent thunderstorm arose to the east of the building, and welled up ominously over the campus.
Although the sky directly above the dormitory was blue, a freak lightning bolt snaked across the sky, curling over the building's turrets striking a sunbathing female student, killing her instantly.
Since that time, subsequent occupants of the room she occupied have reported mysterious object movements, unexplained sounds in the room at night, and at times an overwhelming sense of another
individual present in the room. Sometimes students would find that common items, such as stacks of books or pictures, would be moved around during the day, with no apparent rhyme
or reason, other than perhaps a restless spirit seeking to maintain her link with the world of the living.

The Lively Building, located at the SW corner of Monroe Street and College Avenue, was the location of The Leon Bar. It operated from 1892 to 1904, and was a
gathering spot for the roughest sort of element. Many shootings occurred there, as well as murders. The City passed an ordinance in 1904 that outlawed the sale of alcohol within
the city limits, effectively putting The Leon out of business. Today, there is rumor that some of the "Crackers" (slang for the cowboys who frequented the bar, so named for
the whips they used to corral the cattle) are still hanging around the corner where The Leon was once located.

and doors busted out, but beds still remain made with hospital paraphernalia lying around. The weirdest thing is that the third floor - (some say it is the fourth floor)

whispering coming from up there. And the sound of things being dropped .

in the Umatilla Cemetery. There are four cemeteries that are either in or around the city of Umatilla. Well actually only two of them are really in the city limits
but the one spoken of is located off Golden Gem road in Umatilla. The cemetery is on either side of the street but most of the activity seems to come
from the older section in the back. The newer section of the cemetery is on a hill that goes down to a lake the older section where most of the
activity is reported is surrounded by orange groves on all three side of it. This can certainly be verified by quite a few people. NOTE: it is not a good
idea for inexperienced ghost hunters or kids looking for a cheap thrill to go there at night. The Spirit(s) that are hear are not benevolent, and it could be dangerous.

Annie Russell is widely believed to haunt this theatre named for her in the early 1930's. She was a teacher and director at Rollins College. She has been seen and
even spoken to by numerous people. There are stories of former students who had encounters with Annie while working in the theatre on audition pieces, sets, or lights. One story
in particular that sticks in my mind is there was a guy who was working alone in the theatre on the light grid. Suddenly he fell off the ladder. He
was all alone in the theatre and lay there for a few minutes. Someone came in a few minutes later and saw him laying there. The person immediately went to
call an ambulance and was told that they had already been called and one was on it way. A minute later, an ambulance appeared and took the injured boy to
the hospital. There was no one in the theatre when that boy was initially injured. There have been other stories of people seeing Annie's statue (a bust of her head)
moving across the theatre. Also, Annie had a seat that she always sat in when she watched rehearsals- that seat has often been heard banging up and down, pulled down
when no one was sitting in it, and clapping has been heard coming from that area of the theatre.

stairs and in the hallways, slamming doors, rocking chairs. High-pitched screams can be heard all over the property. The place is now being torn down to stop children from being
hurt from entering the house. but even being torn down, just driving by the property will send chills up your spine.

This is an old one room cabin that sits at the bottom of a large hill. Cabin has been secured with an old fashioned cot, old wooden table and chair,
and a large bible on the table. At the top of the hill, an extremely old, 15 to 20ft cross. Its has been reported that if you look into the
cabin the bible will be closed, and if you go to the top of the hill and touch the cross, go back and the bible will be open. This happens
regardless of the fact that it is completely secured. Finding this location is extremely difficult, a maze of gravel and dirt roads. Is said to have been a cemetery
site at one time, and then owned by a cult in the '60s and 70s where many animals were found sacrificed.
About 100 years ago on this road there was a woman that lived here by her self for many years. They accused her and two others of using witchcraft so
they hung them with chains and on every Halloween around midnight you can drive down the road and hear the chains dragging on the top of your vehicle when you
go under the tree.
Built in 1840 as a Methodist High School and it also served as a hospital for Union forces during the Civil War. The Academy was purchased by Catholic nuns in
1877 and became a girl's school until it closed in 1971. This beautiful Academy is now a Bed and Breakfast and an antique store. Pictures taken inside the school and
on the grounds surrounding it show orbs, vortexes and mists. These pictures appear on the Academy's web site. Apparently haunted by the nuns who once ran the school; door open
and close at night by themselves. There is a large cemetery on the property where the sisters are buried.

An elder man and woman, who never seem to converse, have been seen from the hallways just as they enter rooms--but never located! The kitchen area has poltergeist activity: heavy
coffee container thrown to the floor when no one was near it, stove burners turn on by themselves. Most chilling was when a small juice glass-the old green type that
used to come in oatmeal boxes-appeared in midair, hovered, and then crashed to the floor. The shards were real, but no such glasses were in the kitchen! These events have
been witnessed by more than one person at the time and never explained!
Supposedly, a long time ago, black women were hung there, and slave children were drown in the creek. When you shut your car off on the bridge or near the
church and cemetery, and go to start it again, it makes funny noises. When you sit in the ledge of the bridge, take your shoes off, and dangle your feet
above the creek, you can feel a weird tickling feeling on your feet. Myth says it's the slave children drown there tickling your feet. You can see peculiar lights like
sets of eyes that blink every now and then, under the bridge, in the trees along the creek, and in the cemetery up on the hill by the creek. Also,
if you go out on a dark night, when there has been no running water...in forever, stop your car on the bridge, and roll down your windows, you can hear
what sounds like water running in the creek, but also strangely, foot steps in the weeds and leaves. If you stay and hang out for a while, like an hour
or more, when you come back to your car, there are what appears to be foot and hand prints on your hood and windshield. - June Update/additional Information - it's
said that if you turn your engine off on the bridge that it won't start again. You'll have to push the car off the bridge onto the gravel road to
get it to start. The poster tried this once and it started right back up. There's another variation to the story, but it's the same thing as what was submitted
about Albino Farm Bridge in Springfield, Mo. There's also the ghost of a woman seen walking on the bridge at night. There may not be any truth in these stories
about either place. Of all the people talked to about these places over the years, no one ever says that they themselves have seen anything. So it may be urban
legend.
The fort hauntings have raised many questions over the years. People have claimed to see, hear, and feel things constantly. The most eerie of all of the hauntings though is
at the staircase. The staircase is an old WPA project consisting of about 5 tiers. Most pictures taken of the staircase reveal a dark red smoke near the first or
second stairs when you shoot from the ground up. This experiment has been done many times by many different cameras and ALWAYS this red light shows up in many different
places near the first or second tier of steps.

This is a horrific scene of a step father who was kicked out of his home for being abusive...they lived in one of 2 apartments (street side) above the bar/restaurant.
The man returned one night with a shot gun and shot out the apartments windows and through the security door leading to the apartments. When he entered the apartment ,
his step-son was ready for him and returned fire with his own gun at point blank range, shooting him in the neck and nearly decapitating him. The man "visits" his
old bedroom and roams the building late at night "watching" people. A particular 3 year old begged his mom to tell "THAT MAN" to stop bothering him at night. The
patrons of the bar reported weird noises from the apartment upstairs, and odd occurrences in the lower level. Weeks after the incident, a pencil drawn pentagram with his mothers face
drawn into it was found on the backside of the step son's bedroom door. The mother was not harmed. It is said that the dead man appears in full spectral
appearance, and has been mistaken for a live person, wearing hiking boots, jeans and a flannel shirt. Live snakes have also appeared in this apartment. The incident occurred around 1986
or 1987. The bar may now be closed, it is a large white building on the corner at the end of town, on the right...the old bank building is on
the left.

There are the remains of a burned down house on the paved section of this road. Rumor has it that a family died in the fire, and people have felt
cold chills when passing by the house. - June 2008 Update / Correction: The house was burned by some kids partying inside in the late 90's. Prior to being burned,
it was rumored to have been haunted by the family. The rumor was the family's daughter was insane so they kept her locked in her room. A report from a
witness to seeing the house before the fire reports that in the house prior to being burned down. The room had bars on the windows (the windows for this room
were the only ones on the house with bars). Inside the room had clasps so the room could be locked from the outside of the room. The room was recessed
and the steps had been removed so there was a pretty good drop from the door to the inside of the room. All the contents were still in the house,
as if after the family was murdered none entered the house again. Dirty dishes in the sink, a book was opened and set upside down next to a chair in
the living room area, etc. The rumor is the girl escaped and killed her mother and father then disappeared.

little boy who lived in a nearby farmhouse was riding his tricycle out on the road and was hit and killed by a passing truck. It is said that when
the moon is full, you can see the little boy on his tricyle for a few seconds and then he fades away. Another tale is that of a man who
had been drinking and was walking home along the country road. He was beaten and robbed and left to die. His ghost haunts the old bridge where his body was
found, seeking justice. The old bridge is no longer in use, it has been neglected for a newer safer bridge, but its remnants remain. there is a dead-end gravel road
off of Jarboe. The submitter to this post can not remember the name of the road, but if you take that road it will lead you to an old bridge.

The Pi Kappa Alpha Lodge just south of Cape Girardeau, Missouri has its own little ghost. For this old school house, now a fraternity social palace, there is a resident
that doesn't want to go away. Myth is that in the early 1900's a little girl was accidentally killed in the school. Not much has happened there while large groups
have been present but when it is just a few people, well it is a different story. Windows shaking, doors slamming, lights swaying, figure of a little girl jumping rope
in the old building late at night by the neighboring residents and sinister laughing in the furnace room. Ask any Pike at Southeast Missouri State University and they will be
clad to tell you more about the "Lodge". - Febuary 2005 update: The girl’s name that died is jessica. Till recently, it was True that she only shows up to
individuals or small groups, she made her present known at one of our biggest and most recent lodge parties. in the middle of the party she made all the lights
go out and the music turn off, all the equipment was running for the sound but nothing came out of the speakers, there were no technical problems, so they decided
to just wait it out and eventally they came back on.
Cheney Hall - is said to be haunted. Around finals time, a girl living on the third floor couldn't handle the stress and committed suicide in her bathtub. It is
said that no matter how hard they scrubbed, the blood would not come out of the tub. Instead of pulling the bathtub out and replacing it, they just built a
shelf over it. Now, strange noises are heard in that room, and the door has a habit of slamming by itself when left open.
The Music building - Lights and shadows have been seen, and doors have been heard slamming as well. Witnesses have seen figures walking down the hall that dissolved when

built and situated, it is easy to tell if someone else in the building.
The Rose Theatre - is haunted by the jilted wife of a French trader who murdered him on the grounds before the theatre was built. "Mary" (as we fondly

The ghost of an experienced fisherman haunts the lake. Because he was drowned there by the ghost of his own nephew whom he had killed with a shot gun accidentally
Mr. Slagle was one of the first settlers in Livingston County. He built a mill and was a wealthy man. He had several wives and several children, but most of
them died mysteriously. Mr. Slagle is said to have murdered them all, but since there was no law in Livingston County yet, he was never officially charged. He was also
responsible for the first reported murder in Livingston County. The body of the man he murdered is buried beneath the road that runs past the cemetery. The graves of his
wives and children are still there along with his own, and the cemetery is said to be haunted. There is also a very old bridge on the property which is
said to be haunted. One of the wives supposedly hung herself from the bridge after the mysterious death of one of her children. There are satanic symbols painted on the
bridge, and it is very spooky. There have been several people who have been mysteriously pushed off the bridge and injured when no one was standing around. It used to
be a place where teenagers hung out at night, but too many people have been injured and it is now off limits. The current owners of the property have reported
hearing mysterious whispers on the bridge and sightings of Mr. Slagle are very common around the cemetery and where the mill stood. The submitter claims to have a picture that
they took of the cemetery on a clear night, but on the picture it looks like it is snowing. There are dozens of small orbs and also the transparent figure
of a young woman in an old fashioned dress. - December update: The bridge was torn down

as the story goes, a man killed himself on the grounds before the theater was built. Film has been seen un-winding while sitting on the shelf the lobby speaker has
shot off its hook only to be found 15 ft away in the middle of the floor. People cleaning up after hours have felt a weird, uneasy feeling of being
watched from the curtains at either side of the stage. Balcony lights have dimmed, only to slowly gain light again. Posters in the lobby have been found off their hooks
or turned around when the theater opens in the morning. Cold spots have been felt & even someone saying "tisk,tisk,tisk", sneering & even faint moaning from behind the curtains that
lead to the back when no one is around. Not a place you want to be alone in after it closes.
Lights turning themselves on and off... faucets on and off. Doors shutting themselves and opening themselves. A definite feeling that you are being watched in one of the rooms and
the cold touches that are commonly felt with hauntings.

haunts it today, searching for her lost love. - May 2008 Correction: This is the story of Sarah, the ghost who mourns for her civil war deserter lover who was
hanged. The bell tower she supposedly hung herself from wasn't even in existence at the time of her death, it was built much later. She hung herself from one of
the rafters of the building.
Tower Hall - Students were reported seeing themselves doing homework and chatting in the halls. - May 2008 Additional information: Probably the most violent haunted location on campus. The fifth
floor is closed due to a fire that occurred there. The elevators and stairs are locked but one day just to see if the elevator would indeed not work some
students tried to take it up to the fifth floor, and it worked. Once inside they began asking questions with their tape recorder going and they got a chill and
an eerie feeling. They immediately ran out and later played the tape, only to discover there were at least 2 ghosts up there. One was a very friendly gentleman's voice
and the other a very rude and violent girl's voice that named herself as "Stacy." Since then the elevators haven't worked, they have tried again and again, but if you
live on the fourth floor you can hear the furniture moving among other noises, which can't be explained. Though the fire did not kill anyone there was a suicide that
occurred some 20 years ago by a girl who had been raped on the fifth floor. She threw herself off the roof and landed at the stairs, as for the
man's voice it is not known where he comes from.
This theater is haunted by the ghost of the former owner, who makes clanking noises and the curtains have been known to rise and fall without prompting.
Creve Coeur is French for "broken heart". In the late 1800's a beautiful daughter of an Indian chief married a strong warrior. They were madly in love but the warrior,
like many of the Indian men did, had to go off in hunting parties. These hunting parties would go on for at least 6 months. When the party finally came
back her husband did not come back, he had died along the way home. She, who was heartbroken, went to the top of the cliff that is right at the
entrance of the park, and jumped off into the water bellow. Now the water falling from the cliff is only in little drops, like tears. At night, and on a
quiet day, you can hear a woman cry, and several other people, presumed to be the crying of the loved ones she left behind. Only on full moons, whether you're
standing at the bottom of the cliff, or on the lake looking on from a boat, you can see a woman at the top of the cliff looking down crying,
she never seems to realize other people are around her. Often she jumps off, freighting the onlookers who think a mortal has just jumped. When people see this the go
to the cliff to try and help the mysterious lady, but when the get there no one is there. Recently while 3 men were hiking at night, they claimed to
see a woman walking in front of the crying. When one of the men, who was of Indian descent, went to approach her she hugged him, and started speaking to
him in her native tongue. Since he could not understand her he just shook his head. She ran off crying when he did not converse with her. The 3 men,
now intrigued, followed her, while she ran to the cliff and jumped off. The three men were terrified, not because she jumped but because she disappeared in mid-air.

dead. Also the same location is rumored to be a gateway to hell.(WARNING: most people who go there and are brave enough to stay through the whole experience have some
kind of Vehicle trouble upon trying to exit the hollow.(I.E.) flat tires mysterious claw marks on the vehicle, and even wrecks!!!)

that the statue cries bloody tears. It sometimes lasts till 1:00 A.M. And during this "witching" hour, it's said that you can walk through the graveyard, and hear the faint
voices of the dead. Some people (including myself) have seen a white woman in the back of the cemetery coming out of the wall of one of the old crypts
and walking along the row of headstones. She carries a white cat with no head, and cries mournfully. Legend says that she was a lady who lived in the area
in the late 1920s. Her indoor cat ran outside and she ran after it. When she scooped her beloved cat up in her arms in the middle of the street,
they were both run over by a beer wagon.

May 2005 Update: the train wreck that spurned the headless woman story occurred in late summer, or early fall of 1892, with sketchy fatality lists stating approx. 13-27 deaths, many
being thrown into the river. Therefore, the wreck occurred near the river overpass nearly 1/2 mile from the tunnel underpass. They believe the woman's head was lost to the river
and now she eternally seeks it. She walks in the fall, mostly. When she passes thru you, you will feel like a thousand icicles stabbing thru you. Also, there is
a cemetery south of Dumas, mostly Catholic burials, with one being a 104 year old woman from Ireland. A visitor was "attacked" by the presence of something malicious there one
night and it took a Christian psychic to remove the spirit as it was feeding off their energy. Whatever dwells outside this cemetery is neither human nor animal but something
from a dark place. The tunnel underpass itself is benign, only haunted by ignorant teenagers who deface it with their graffiti. There is a small dwelling adjacent to the tunnel
where a huge, mean dog lived, now dead. His ghost still roams there. It has orange, glowing eyes. There are also several dead babies buried around the area. A woman
kept having miscarriages and her husband buried the corpses all around the area. In the 1950's, a man committed suicide in the forest near the river by drinking poison and
his body or skeleton, rather, was found sitting under a tree.

A lot of people might not know this, but this elementary school is an eerie place. About sixty years ago, before the school was ever built and before the neighborhood
around was constructed, there was a cemetery in the area where the school is now. The state ordered the owners of Leaf Brown Cemetery to dig up the graves so
that the bodies could be relocated to another cemetery. Well, the diggers stupidly forgot to remove one of the bodies. The reason they didn't notice it there before, was because
the body was buried so deep. Now, the ghost of the dead body haunts the elementary school. Some children have spotted the ghost in some of the bathrooms. It is
said that the ghost is a woman in a black dress with long blond wavy hair, and no eyes. She sometimes approaches the children quickly and tries to catch them.
Luckily they've managed to get away. They say teachers and other faculty can't see the ghost. Only children can see her.

The music stops and starts as she pleases, and it's played very loudly at times. Also, the playground toys in the back are in HER particular places, so if you
move them around and leave for a little while, don't be surprised if they are back in their original places when you return to them.
Once in the early 1980's a teacher left to take a note to the office leaving a girl as a room monitor. During this time the students still sitting in

room monitor had no idea what everyone thought was so funny.

Another light has been seen in the State Park, which is on down past Glaser road. This light was seen as early as 1940's. It is large and round. It
changes colors like a bubble. My father saw it in the early 40's while he was in the CCC camp. He and a friend were walking back to camp and
it followed them. In the early 60's my science teacher at Sullivan High School went to investigate these lights that all us kids were talking about. He took a friend
with him. It took all night but they did see it.

that is partially buried in the riverbank that you can easily see that fell through it a long time ago. There have been reports of unusual noises, including muffled screams,

Family graveyard behind the Airport - Strange noises, cold spots, warm spots, strange uneasy feelings and apparitions have been reported. The location is off of K highway past the Tiffany
Springs playing fields. At the end of thee road the airport will be in front of you fenced off, to the right will be another road for about thirty feet
which is barricaded. Turn left for about 1/4 of a mile and it will be on your right.- December 2005 Update/Additional Information: There used to be a house next
to it, as to this day the stone/brick fireplace is still standing, although the rest of the house is completely gone. Information about this place is tied up with the
airport purchasing the land so info was hard to come by. Since the property is now owned entirely by the airport, caution should be used. It is very possible you
will be arrested if you are there with out permission. Since 9/11, airport security is out there usually within ten minutes of any cars parked stationary either on K HWY
or on the road that leads to the cemetery. They are very serious. It's not barricaded and the land that surrounds the cemetery is farmland, usually only for corn/soybeans.

reports of lights coming on and off doors being shut, and strange noises coming from his old bedroom.
It is a three story building that looks like something straight out of a horror movie. It is positioned in a hay field on a rock road just past the
local cemetery, and you'll have to be very careful not to be caught trespassing by the owner who lives directly across the road. Once you find your way in, after
fighting the thorn bushes at the basement window entrance, you are overcome by a sense of unwelcome and constant following throughout the asylum. Adventurers have taken digital pics and digital
videos claiming to have come up with some pretty strange footage. If you decide to go, be careful of the floors and please be respectful. ENJOY DON'T DESTROY!

wide open and everyone would hear feet tromping across the stage and back again and then the door would slam shut!

Once you turn on Wilcox road, after about 1/4 of a mile the road will fork and you need to go left at the fork. The road is curvy and
paved, but after a few miles it turns into gravel. Once the road turns to gravel go forward for about another mile till you come to a railroad crossing. Most
people do this at midnight, but people have reported seeing spirits as early as 10 pm. The story goes that in the early 1900's a train de-railed killing most of
it's passengers. But many odd things turned up once they began to investigate the wreck. A few things were that a woman had been pregnant when she was killed in
the wreck and once they found her, the baby was missing out of her womb. Another man had become decapitated during the wreck and the police could never find his
head. So once you get to the railroad track you pull onto the tracks and shut off your car. Your windows start to fog up very quickly and you can
hear a train whistle in the background, it gets louder...then stops. You will often also see a light when you look down the train tracks. While sitting in the car
you will hear something tap on your window and if your brave enough to look outside a woman will be standing there asking you where her baby is. And for
the extremely brave, if you decide to get out of you car you will see a decapitated man in the ditch searching for his head, many people have saw this
(including myself).

This road has constant twists and turns throughout it. There are no street lights but woods on both sides lining the edge of the road. It has a age-worn brick
wall along the side that looks like a old, overgrown cemetery. A valuable source has said they saw a cemetery on either side of the road the first time they
had driven on it. Just as they had went around a curve, they said they had seen a woman in it stretching her arms toward the road-or possibly them and
standing still. They described her as wearing a wedding dress and a veil. They were going to return at sunrise to look around (they liked to photograph cemeteries). When they
had returned to the location, there was no cemetery, but a house under construction, and a wide open field, and on the other side, some trees on a small cliff.
They said that the cemetery couldn't have been their imagination, they weren't even thinking about anything to do with it, or scared for any reason. Another resident described seeing a
head with a terrified expression on its face roll out of the woods and under the front of the car, again not finding anything when he went back to find
out if his mind was just playing tricks on him. There is a old run down wood bridge about half way down the road, and a series of chevron signs
before it. Somebody has spray-painted with red paint a letter on each of these signs. Oddly enough there was a perfect number of signs for them to spell M-U-R-D-E-R D-I-E
and the last sign which is directly beside the beginning of the bridge says "Back & Here" (whatever that means). You have to slow down for the bridge and go
about 5 mph over it because the wood is so warped, and numerous people have said when they do this they notice lots of movement on both sides of the
bridge and sounds of something walking (on two legs not 4). All reports have been said to have been during the night and one during the day, and for some
reason if you bring up Rickey Road all the locals voices change and they all know of it and have their own stories to tell. Though most of them wont
utter details only that they have been there and something had happened to them that has made them never want to return. Kids from the area go there for an
adrenaline rush and turn their headlights off.
heres how the story goes.... a old guy owned a plantation and he had slaves work for him and all of his slaves died (he killed them) and these group
of kids burned down the house and the next day they went back to the house and it was rebuilt (go off dd highway down a dirt road and go
look for a old house with stuff growing around it) and also go up the hill around the corner and youll find it right there you cant miss it! please
dont destroy enjoy!
Reports of yelling and no one around.
In the early 1900's a black man named Joe was accused of raping a young white girl. He protested his innocence saying, "God would prove I didn't do it". Legend
has it that he survived the electric chair but a group of vigilantes took him to the cave where he was tarred and feathered and then hung with barbed wired
in one of the larger back rooms of the cave. Joe had been a fiddle player and each night after supper would sit on his front porch and play the
fiddle. Now if you go to the cave just around dark you can hear his fiddle music echoing though out it. - May 2005 clarification/ correction: This is a
historical incident, so there are records that provide the date (1839), the name and age of the girl (Amanda Fulbright, age 10), the name of the man who killed Joe
(Thomas Rafferty shot him). Joe's dead body was taken from the Fulbright property in Laclede County, MO, to the cave in Camden County, MO (about 10 miles), a medical doctor
dissected the body, boiled the flesh off the bones, and rearticulated the skeleton. The doctor’s motive was knowledge of anatomy. Also, the cave does not have any "larger back rooms."
The first room goes about 75 feet, then tapers down to a hole only large enough for a modest stream of water. No human could enter the hole. And, of
course, there was no electric chair in 1839, and barbed wire wasn't invented until about 1876.

parking lot - This site was formerly the Gratiot Street Prison. Here is a bit of history on the place. The building had been McDowell's College, a medical college owned
and operated by Joseph Nash McDowell. It was confiscated by the Federal authorities in the spring of 1861. In December 1861 the building was converted into a prison and later
renamed. Even early Federal records often call the place "McDowell's College." It was right in the midst of some of the wealthiest homes in St. Louis. General Fremont's headquarters in
the Brant Mansion were only a block away. Right across the street was the home of the wealthy Harrison family. Attached to Gratiot on the north was the Christian Brothers
Academy. Unlike other Civil War prisons, Gratiot was used to hold just about anyone and everyone. Along with Confederate prisoners of war were also held civilians ("citizens"), women, children, confiscated
slaves ("contrabands"), spies, saboteurs, political prisoners, guerrillas and bushwhackers, and even Federal soldiers who had committed crimes or had misbehaved. Of Confederate soldiers held at Gratiot, the most likely ones
came from battles and states in the Mississippi River region as far south as New Orleans. They were sent north for processing at Gratiot then moved on to Alton and
other eastern prisons. Also soldiers fighting in Missouri and Arkansas would be sent to St. Louis. There is more information here: CivilWarStLouis.com

of a fire that happened at Roosevelt when the school was having the floors stripped. 3 off-duty firemen lost their lives while helping with the fire.

16 men died in the Pea Ridge Mine during it's 40 years of operation from 1961 to 2001. Why this place closed down is still unclear. 80% of the richest

coming out of the mineshaft late at night. What did those miners uncover digging so deep in the earth. Was it a secret passage to hell? - September 2004 update/correction.
A reader did some research on the Mine in regard to why it shut down. Several newspaper clipping at the two local newspapers and other documents found on-line dealing with
economics, Prices, etc., state that due to a huge decrease in Iron prices, the Mine was shut down in 2002 because of operational costs. (which took me almost two months
to find out. Nothing was found about Mine on the town's main web pages. Really makes it look like they were hiding something. But it looks like all they were
hiding was a big money and job loss to the town.)

house in 1975 because he was curious on buying the property. At this time the house looked, as it had been standing vacant for many years. He thought it was

Houts/Hosey Hall - is supposedly haunted by a girl who killed herself while she was pregnant. Her ghost is said to walk the halls, knocking on doors, and calling for
her baby- asking where it is. Shadows are seen under the doors when no one is walking by. During a séance 2 different room numbers where given and one of
them was a room that was not used, the other room of a suite used by a community advisor (like an RA). This room’s door looked very different from the
rest of the doors, had a sort of- darkness above it. And was very obviously off-limits to residents. Rumor is that the numbers of the rooms in that building had
been reassigned so that no one would hear about the room the suicide victim lived in and not want to live in it. This could be just a rumor, though.
- October Update: This is the legend of Sarah. An eye witness to both the séances reports the findings were fake – that nothing happened.

the entire floor was padlocked and no one was allowed on that floor. Other residents have reported cold spots during the summer in this un-air-conditioned hall. A shadow of just
a woman's head was seen by two women during a summer cleanup when the hall was supposed to be empty. Men, in this Women's only hall, feel like they are
being watched and male campus maintenance workers have complained of drawers opening and closing in rooms they are working in, when no one else is present. The third floor is
padlocked shut, as is the attic. It has been said that if you knock twice on the attic door someone will knock back. Witnesses claim that this is indeed true.
Third floor of Yeater hall was used in 2001, it was not until spring semester of 2002 that it was padlocked. The ghosts are believed to be those of Laura
Yeater (the dorm mother when the dorm was new, and whom the dorm was named after), and of a man who served in the military at a time when the
dorm was *for sure* used as housing for the military (there is a base nearby as well). - October Update The most famous and most blown out of whack. An
investigator investigated 3 known entities in this hall. The story of the shadow seen by 2 workers was solely investigated by the ghost hunter. There have been times kids state
they see things and once a boy was petrified on the stairwell saying he saw something and it took a very long time to get him out of his trance.
Most of the information that was originally posted was taken from lectures the ghost hunter gave at the college, and the above updates where reported by him. If interested in
talking to him, the staff would probably give you information if they check with him first.

through the school in 1967 and although he knew he had died of shrapnel wounds, he would often worry about going to 'Nam "tomorrow". Jeremy, for the record was very

Asbury Cemetery is located way back on a dirt road, down in a valley between some hills. It's a really pretty place, and I have been to more than one
funeral there. But it's also a place where people like to park and stargaze. On several occasions, people have described a low voice talking, or an overwhelming, almost gut-wrenching feeling
that something is watching them or something is after them. More than one serious accident has occurred from people driving from it at night as fast as they can. A
witness involved in a wreck reports: "A group of us were out there just hanging out when everyone in our group, which consisted of about 10 people, all stopped
talking in mid-sentence and felt a horrible sense of dread. We ran to our vehicles and everyone flew from there. I'm a biologist with a minor in Physics; I don't
believe in "ghosts". On top of that, my father is a minister, and I have strong convictions against ghosts. Naturally, I thought it was just a change in the wind,
sudden drop in pressure, etc., so I went back one night with a girl I was dating and a friend. We were sitting in the car talking when I felt
a horrible feeling that someone was right on me. At the same time the girl I was with began to scream and tell me to get out of here, start
the car! We flew out of there at full speed and kept speeding down the narrow two-lane road that led to it. Even though we had left the area and
were a half mile away, she continued to look out the back window and say that someone is coming, and our friend was saying "go, man, go! Don't slow down!"
I felt it too, and turned to look out the back window to see what it was; I lost control on the dirt road and my car went down a
steep hill into some trees. We were at the bottom of this hill and all any of us could do was yell excitedly in fear at what might be out
there. To this day, neither I nor any of my many friends who used to go out there will even turn down the road that leads to it at night.
Not from what I said, but because they were there and I have felt it, too. "

books in the book drop. Her son saw a light in the window and peered in. His mother said he came sliding down the steep steps on the bank of

in the small Connecticut town of Newtown lies an enormous field containing more than 100 large abandoned buildings that once housed more than 4000 crazy people. Featured as the location
on what is said to be the most scary episode of MTV's fear Ghostwatcherz.com, Fairfield Hills' buildings range from the shock treatment building to the center for the criminally insane.
The institution had a history of unauthorized lobotomies and mysterious deaths. The unique thing about Fairfield Hills is that it has an interconnected system of underground tunnels connecting most of
the buildings to each other. WARNING: Although it has been abandoned since the mid-90's, proceed with EXTREME caution as there is almost always a cop or two there and at
least 4 squad cars are guarding the location around Halloween. November 2003 Update - there are 4 heavily armed police cars circling the buildings. They attempted to interrogate any intruders
and have been known to nearly arrest them. They even said that they caught people in the underground tunnels. - "Heavily guarded do not even bother attempting to enter"
Dolan Hall - Former convent-turned-residence hall for Fairfield U. is said to have the ghosts of former nuns roaming the halls. There is one story (which probably isn't true, but
you never know) of a nun who was raped by a priest, got pregnant and hung herself. More recently, a student died in one of the rooms and the room
is no longer occupied due to uncontrollable temperature changes. Loud and unexplainable bangs awaken and frighten students between midnight and 4AM in rooms 231, 229, 227, and 225, yet no
other rooms in that hallway can hear the noises at all. - November 2003 update/correction: A student that lived in the infamous Dolan 231, reports while they didn't hear any
banging, they COULD hear people moving furniture above them. However, when the RA's went up there to tell them that it was 2AM and they were trying to sleep, they
found that they TOO were sleeping and not moving furniture at all. The rumor about the nun is NOT true at all, but the room that the student died in
IS true and WAS taken offline because of the uncontrollable heat. This room is Dolan 403.

many parts of it still remain. It is believed that there is still an entrance that leads underground to tunnels of the old silo. People have already tried to find
this entrance and got lost in doing so. Once night falls the Nike site turns into a very Blair witch place. Sounds of random people walking around in the woods
can be heard as long with their voices. This place has been nicknamed the insane asylum by the locals.
Story has it, that John "Ernie" Randolph and his wife lived at the LedgeLight, which sits out in the middle of the Ocean, just at the opening of the Thames
River, no land around it what so ever. When there the wife kept telling Ernie that she was unhappy there and to secluded. Ernie made no attempt to move or
find another job. So one day his wife took off with a Block Island Ferry Capt. Because of his wife’s leaving, Ernie became so depressed that he slit his throat
and then jumped to the waters below from the top of the light house. Stories have it that Ernie now haunts the lighthouse. The lighthouse was turned over to the
coast guard who manned it, and cadets have reported the opening and closing of doors, the decks being swabbed when they weren't the ones who did it. The lighthouse is

Located in the woods, on the side of an abandoned road (possibly old Waterbury Road), is a village of sorts, a number of very complex and detailed small stone houses
standing about three to five feet high built into the hill. Some of the buildings are A framed, others are more traditional, they have the appearance that they are gutted
and "condemned", inside of the little houses are elaborate room structures, staircases; pathways lead up hills through the woods to them, tiny pathways. The area is overgrown. Built into the
side of a rock is a "thrown" a life sized chair of sorts with several symbols around it- the legend is that if you sit on it you will die
in 7 years- this is only legend though. Next to the village itself is the ruins of an old stone house with iron bars on the window... very negative energy
comes from here. In the evening the road to the village is so loaded with negative energy that it is virtually impossible to travel it... it is soundless and still.
En route to the village and at the village itself several pentagrams can be seen from time to time on the ground. Overall a very eerie, very negative feeling pervades
the area of this extremely mysterious village in the woods.- November 2003 Update: It is actually right off I84 exit 17 on the Middlebury/Waterbury line. All the other info is
pretty accurate, there is really only one little house left and that is partly destroyed. The stone house is still there and so is the thrown. There is also a
cellar that you can go down into. Place is very spooky. Legend is that there was a man and women who lived there and she was crazy and thought she
was the Queen of the little people. She made her husband build her a thrown and all the little houses. Then she killed her husband and herself or he killed
her and himself. There are different variations of the story.
Recent research reveals that the Cotter Building at CVH was originally the site of an Indian burial ground. Local Indians had a village overlooking the Ct. River before the arrival
of white men. This explains the often heard strange noises, chanting, drumbeats, lights turning on and off, and doors opening and closing on their own accord. Mists have been reportedly
seen moving about inside of the firehouse portion. - WARNING!! Trespassers WILL be arrested.

located off of Silver Sands state beach has a long and mysterious history. It was a point of conflict between the English settlers and the Wepaowag Indians, who regarded the
island as sacred ground, connected with spirits. Following the defeat of the tribesmen, the Chief put a curse on the island, pronouncing "Any shelter will crumble to the Earth, and
he shall be cursed" About 25 years after the defeat of the Wepauwags, the notorious pirate Captain Kidd, who knew the islands reputation, is known to have buried part his
treasure on the island, and treasure hunters from around the country still look for this stash today. It is told that in 1850 two men found the treasure, only to
run away from the island screaming about a "screeching, flaming skeleton descending from the sky" They spent the remainder of their lives in an asylum. At the end of the
18th century, a monastery was built on the island. After the monks moved in, dismissing the curse as "pagan savagery" and "Indian folklore", a series of mysterious deaths, suicides, and
bouts of insanity, and subsequent intensifying hauntings forced them to abandon the monastery. The crumbling ruins can still be seen today. In the 1950s and attempt was made to open
a seaside restaurant and lodge on the desolate island. A devastating and lethal fire, still to which cause remains unknown, ended whatever building projects scheduled for the Island, and no
one has built upon it since. All that is left from this is a tumbling brick wall. Today, reports from hikers abound about seeing glowing specters flitting through the trees,
disembodied voices, and phantom monks making processionals through the monastic ruins. One also hears of seeing nighttime Indian festivals and hearing jazz music near the old site of the restaurant.
The only access to the Island is a mysterious causeway that only surfaces from the sea at low tide. People, in the summer months, frequent the island for its beach
and seclusion, as well preserved trails. The ghosts wont bother you if you respect them. Just don’t build, and DONT DIG!

resident of the town for many years, knows the building that is being referred to. It was formerly located in Oakland Park, the three-story brick building built in the late
1800s was a sanitarium for tuberculosis patients. It served that purpose until TB was eradicated in the 1950s. After that, the building was used as a nursing home until a
new nursing home was built on the property in the late 70s early 80s. In the mid-1980s the building housed a dormitory for the local community college. The students that
lived there were a little upset when the college failed to mention that the "dorm" was about six miles away from the college. Needless to say, the building was only
used for a few years as a dorm. It stood empty from that time and was used for storage for the nursing home. It was torn down a few years
ago. There is some interesting features on the building and its history. A tunnel was constructed that lead from the basement kitchen to the nurses' quarters (a separate building on

out in the yard getting something out of the rain and heard the scream of a woman. To him it sounded from the church, but because of the weather he
didn't pursue what he had heard. He figured he had heard the wind. The next day the woman was found dead in the church (cause of death unknown). Two African
fellows were traveling through at the time and the death was placed on them. They got out of there as soon as they could being either they did kill the
woman or they knew they would get the blame. The farmer never forgave himself for not going to the church that night.* Few people have said that they had seen
a figure of the woman roaming around the graveyard behind the church and the church itself at night. They also said that further away from the church they heard a
woman scream coming from the church. The ghost is seemingly harmless.

The Marian Center in St. Paul is a nursing home located in what was once the old Mounds Park Hospital. It was closed as a hospital sometime in the 70's
and reopened as a nursing home in the late 80's/early 90's. The story is that an off duty policeman who was working as a security guard was shot and killed
as he was getting off the elevator in the basement, which is where the morgue was located. There are four elevators in the building, but if you get on that
particular elevator, no matter what direction it is going or what floor you push, it will go straight to the basement, open, and then close again before going to where
it's directed. The employee break room is in the basement but is rarely used, as you have to walk past the old morgue to get to it and there are
strange noises there at night. There was also a tunnel from the basement leading to the old nurse's dormitory, which was once used for storage. The maintenance men disliked using
it because they reported hearing strange noise and lights flickering off and on. The property sits across the street from a group of Indian burial mounds.

Formerly listed in Murrells Inlet – Old Gunn Church/Graveyard - An old church built as a parish in the 1700's. Now burned down but front of church still remains.
Old graveyard has confederate soldiers graves. Believed to be haunted by a priest that fell off the roof. The Old Gunn church (accurate name is Prince Frederick's Church) ruins are
not in Murrells Inlet, SC but is located on highway SC22-4 off US 701 about 16 miles north of Georgetown, SC. The book "Ghosts of Georgetown" gives a good accounting
of the events of this church and its history but there are variations of the story. One version: During the building of the church Mr. Gunn (who was either an
architect or Overseer of the slaves) was in the bell tower. It is believed he was an Overseer because when he fell he was not dead and the slaves refused
to approach or help him. They feared him so much for his evil ways they ran away and left him to die alone, cursing them. The church was finally finished
but had a tragic history and was finally abandoned. They say he haunts the area. Witnesses report the air is very heavy and thick though the ruins are in the
open with pine trees around the area. They have fenced it off now so it is difficult to get inside and what remains of the church is dangerous to be
around. Make sure you are not trespassing when you visit.

The Story goes that a woman had a husband that was a conductor for a railroad company in Summerville...and he worked nights. At midnight every night, people could always see
her there, waiting by the tracks with his lunch and a lantern...waiting for him to stop to eat. One night, he never showed. She was told that the train had
derailed or crashed, and he was beheaded and, of course, killed. Although they buried his remains, she would never accept the fact that he was gone, and so, she went
to the tracks at midnight with her lantern and walked up and down, waiting for him. People of course began to think she was crazy, but she continued this nightly
ritual until her own death. Mysteriously, the light never stopped coming. This is what my mother told me happens at her visit to THE SUMMERVILLE LIGHT: When you go to
the tracks, just before midnight, you can hear all the sounds that are usually heard at night, crickets chirping, frogs croaking...the breeze blowing.... but for some odd reason, and this
has been the case for every person who has seen THE LIGHT...at midnight, the sounds suddenly just cease. As if a presence has quieted them momentarily. Then you can see
it, usually its far off, a light and nothing else...coming your way. If you stick around, THE LIGHT will chase you. Scared visitors tried to jump in their car and
leave and the light came upon them swiftly, and they heard a BUMP on their car, as they sped away. When at a safe distance from the sighting, they got
out and looked, and there was a dent on the car, where the lantern hit it. Others have had their car stalled and even a report of having a strange
burn mark on their hood. - May 2008 Update: The Summerville end of this road is completely blocked off by dirt mounds and is impassable. Also the police keep a

area".

A few miles down this road there is the old Martinville Church. The history behind this church is not really known, but something definitely is unusual about the site. It
is a very old unused church and there is a cemetery behind the church with a large iron gate. At the cemetery entrance witnesses heard singing and saw faint lights
on in the church. It was very cold all of a sudden(on a July evening) and the air was very heavy. They ran and got back into the car and
as soon as they pulled away from the church the lights in the church suddenly went off.
the church and graveyard is said to be haunted by a priest from the early 1900s. his family died from a plague and he was the only member alive. he
cursed god and started satanic seances and satanic mischief. there's a old shack behind the church that used to be his. late at night you sometimes can see a light
on in there but there is no glass in the windows and you can also see a figure. the graveyard is right next to the church. there is two grave
yards there. the front one is just normal people but the back is the priests graveyard. it is haunted by all the priests of the church. it is located right
off of highway 378.

General sense of foreboding there. Lights seen moving about in the graveyard, voices from the field of tall grass next to it. Temperature drops near the graveyard. Unusual sounds in
the nearby woods (could be deer) as well as frantic animal activity. A puff of smoke from a pipe did not dissipate, but moved a few feet, stopped, and took
on a humanoid shape before blowing away. One person felt something brush her leg, but they couldn't find what could have done that.
very creepy!! feelings of despair and fear are common. Not much to see, but very weird noises and a baby crying. Best times are late into the night and only

the bridge. She has been reportedly seen since the 1930's when the bridge was new.
The ghost of Aiport's first principal, George I. Pair, haunts the school late at night. Airport was built in 1958 and Pair died in 1962. It is said that he
roams the 300 and 500 halls to protect the students and teachers and to look over his work. Though carpeted many years ago, Pair can be heard walking the halls
as if the tiles were still there. Lockers banging, the opening of locked doors, and the phones being knocked off the hook are usually the signs of Pair's ghost. Many
sightings of his ghost still appear to many students who stay for late night activities. His actions were caught on tape in 1994 by adventurous students and teachers late at
night.

Many reports of a lady diving onto cars as they cross and then disappearing before the car can stop. Many say that the woman is screaming for them to help
her find her child. Others say it is the ghost of a woman that drowned in the creek below while swimming. The bridge is beside an old saw mill, maybe
thats where she died. But it is a fact that a woman did drown in the water in the late 50's.
This church is unlocked at all times. If you try to take something out of it, it will become too heavy for you to carry. If you light a lighter
in the church, it will fall apart.

Italian POW's located on Ft. Carson. There is also an intricate system of tunnels linking the buildings together, one of the post's Military Police investigated an open door one night
and deep into one of the tunnels he found an old setup of children’s toys, a small chair, a small kids table and a few other things. There were also
witnessed by three Military Policeman words painted inside an area under the building with no visible way to get inside and paint them there. The words didn't make any sense,
and when they attempted to look for them on a later date they were gone, as if they’d never been there. They weren't painted over because the surface wasn't painted,
and they weren't sandblasted off either. On some nights especially when the weather gets colder, many strange noises are heard there. Movement is heard through the building, like furniture is
being shoved around, repetitive banging noise, and sometimes faces are seen peering through the barred windows. an elder American Indian woman says the site was directly on the old trail
of tears. She said that, there is a large low-lying field where no structure will stand; several attempts at building there have been unsuccessful.

Trails run for more than a mile from Riverside Park, to the Ponds, with swamp like land and thick woods. The trail runs all along the South Plate River, and
the whole way to the Ponds, you can hear and sense spirits. Some people have become possessed, or followed by spirits. Rumors have called her the River Witch, a woman
in the 1900's who practiced the dark arts, and was treated very badly by all of Fort Morgan's residents, so one night she was sick of it and walked into
the river, killing herself. Most of the spirits revolve around her. You can feel the bad energy out there, and you hear them, and can see glowing eyes in the
trees.
Several hauntings have been reported. On Mondays, the restaurant is closed, but often a manager comes in to run invoices and such. The sound of feet walking across the floor
were heard, in the lobby. When asked "who's there?" a straw flew from an empty glass sitting on a shelf behind him, and landed on paperwork he was working on.
He left for the rest of the day. The next morning, the receptionist came in early and began to check messages. The telephone's 'auto-answer' feature was active, so the phone
could not ring. As she was checking messages, the telephone, to her surprise, rang. She answered it in her normal fashion, and a scruffy, whispering voice on the other end
said to her "tell me what you're wearing". She replied, "excuse me", and the voice again said, "tell me what you're wearing". Immediately, the caller hung up. The receptionist quickly
had other workers in the club try to call her extension to see if it would ring, but all attempts were unsuccessful.

Old 19th century armory on the south face of the hill, below and to the left of the park facilities, a ghost named "Kether" dwells. She was sacrificed on this
spot as punishment for disobedience of her coven whose beliefs were loosely based on worship of the Egyptian god "set". Often, on a hot summer day, the concrete and stone

was forced to stay in the house all day, every day to clean and cook while the other men were out in the fields. She's still alive, she's 97. It's

The site of the Sand Creek Massacre is long believed and experienced as a haunted site. On November 29, 1864 over 200 Native Americans (mostly women and children) were brutally
massacred by US Col. John Chivington. His forces hunted the people as they tried to escape along the Sand Creek, in many cases, as they tried to take shelter in
small sand caves. They were used as target practice, mutilated, and even had body parts amputated before death as trophies. Annually, on the anniversary night of the massacre, campers have
reported seeing manifestations of numerous Native women, children, and the occasional warrior, wandering down the Sand Creek bed and banks where they were killed, most appearing only briefly, and then
dissolving into the creek's soil.

built 1945 in the tiny mining town of Platoro, Colorado. The Lodge is a 3story log/wood building and contains a general store, a restaurant, a game room, and guest/employee rooms.
It stands at 10,000ft. elevation in a valley of the San Jaun Mountain Range in Southern Colorado. There is much history at the lodge and in the Platoro area in general.
Platoro was founded in the early 1880's to provide housing, food and even a post office for local gold/silver miners. One of the ghosts that haunt the area/lodge is believed to
be 'Little Eva'. Eva was a 16yr. old prostitute that was shot by the wife of a local miner. Her grave is an unmarked concrete slab that's in a field about
150yrds from the lodge. - (private property) - Another 'Spirit' is believed to be Henry, the ghost of a man that passed away(1950's) inside the main lodge after suffering a heart
attack while hunting. Some of the mysterious things that happen are; Shadows(silhouettes)passing by/behind people when they're alone. Bowls, silverware, plates getting thrown off counters and shelves. Doors opening/shutting, even locking
on there own. Numerous cold spots that are almost always there. The sound of furniture being dragged across upper floors when no one's around. Things missing and turning up in strange
locations, and fires in the main lobby fireplace starting/stopping on there own.
Along the old "Chile Line" abandoned Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, above Mears Junction (about 2 miles up to the south), used to be a water tank where trains would
stop to replenish water for their boilers so they could make it over Poncha Pass. The story goes that one time in the fall of 1894, when the train stopped,
a small child named Annabell got off the train to walk in the woods awhile with her brother. When the train started up she was no where to be found.
Her parents and brother got off the train to look for the girl. They stayed for days, and even with the help of the County Sheriff and local ranchers on
horseback, she was never found. On several occasions during the autumn while the train was still running, engineers and conductors have thought that they saw a small child playing in
the woods. In later years on many occasions, boy scouts and scout leaders camping in the area during the fall have heard a small voice singing in the dense aspen
groves directly to the east of the old abandoned railroad bed.
On a small tract of land, owned by the Boy Scouts for their Rocky Mountain High Adventure Base, is an old dugout cabin, near a small gold mine, surrounded by
an old corral. Many adults and scouts have reported on various occasions hearing moaning and low muttering sounds coming directly from the dugout late at night. The story is that
De Anza buried some gold at this site on his way down into Poncha Springs in the 1600's. An old miner found the stash of Spanish gold pieces while mining
in the area. They found him dead, locked and sealed up in his little dugout, supposedly scared to death, with no mark on him! He had reported on his previous
trips into town that he was continually being alarmed by lights and hearing loud Speaking voices which told him to leave the gold and leave the area....or die! The cabin,
the mine and some of the corral are still there.
A civil war haunting is present just off the highway on the north side of the pass on a big curve, where according to Union Army records, a small contingent
of troops encountered a renegade bunch of Southern soldiers running from a posse of mounted volunteers. It seems they had been sent by the South to intercept a gold shipment
and take it back to Texas. They were successful in stealing the gold shipment on a wagon and had almost crossed Poncha Pass when they ran into a Union patrol
form Ft Garland. A small skirmish ensued where three rebels were killed and most of the gold was retaken. Two soldiers that were wounded carried off one of the four
wooden crates of gold and ran to the south up little Pemmican Creek where they disappeared for all time. Some say they left the area, and some have said they
died in the dense woods and aspen groves from their wounds. The Union patrol searched for many days but could not find any trace of them. The three Southern soldiers
who had been killed are buried in the Poncha Springs Little Round Top Cemetery. Local ranchers and miners have reported seeing a old man in tattered grey uniform feebly asking
for help, but when they would go to help him, they could never find him. Motorists along this stretch of Hwy 285 have seen a older man in tattered clothes
saluting as they passed. The sheriff was called on several occasions to investigate, but no one was ever found. Scouts and adults at the scout base along Pemmican Creek have
reported seeing a strange looking grey ghostly figure in early evening while they camped out there.

Well documented Ghost lights. The ghosts light of this old cemetery is well known in the region. The town has gone as far to shutting off all the lights in
the town because critics stated that the ghost light is reflections of the streetlights. The town turned off all the lights and still the light danced around the tombstones. The
lights were first noticed by a group of weary partygoers coming back by wagon from the town of Rosita. They were questionable witness to say the least. But, after their
report other people began to notice lights in the graveyard. Thinking it was some local kids having fun, the local men decided to hide at night and catch the vandals.
Well hidden, they waited past dark, and then the lights came. The men jumped out from their hiding place and saw the lights with no one around. They went home
rather spooked. The lights are still seen today.

Riverdale Road is a circuitous and meandering stretch of poorly maintained country road running primarily from northeast Denver then north to Highway 7 in Brighton. The road is within a
distinctly rural area currently and derives its name from its parallel relationship to the South Platte River. Between the road and the west riverbank is a dense alluvial soil which
is rich and fertile which attributes a long history to the road. The area was not farmed in the traditional sense until the late 1880's and there was never any
official form of slavery on any of these farms, yet there is a definite sense of the arcane and tragic. Unlike the officially platted roads of the Colorado highway system,
Riverdale is very curvy and follows the bank of the South Platte, belying its original usage as a section of the so-called Trapper, or Cherokee Trail, used by the indigenous
inhabitants of the area for nearly 1500 years before contact with the Europeans in 1817. Little is known about the place during this time. What is well documented is the
time period from 1880-1950's when the area was part of the large truck farm complex, primarily of Sugar Beets. The harvesting of the Beets would occur during the fall and
was done by abjectly poor eastern European immigrants who worked the Smelters the remainder of the year. As a result the farms were notorious for their abuses of the migrant
workers to the point of near slavery, a tragedy which continues today. This, along with the many pioneers and such who died traveling Cherokee trail has riddled it with angry
and unpleasant spirit activity. In addition to the aforementioned legend there is a place, some miles south of Highway seven and near to the northernmost end of the road which
is distinctly hilly, uncommonly so. The hills are some 300' in height and uniform in shape. These hills surround a large building and a residence known to local teenagers as
the "gates of hell". The legend which surrounds this place is that some time in the early 1980's a bizarre and abusive religious cult was cloistered there where they would
commit unknown heresies, including the death of a child. To this day it is said, that at certain times, a number of phantom dogs can be seen guarding the driveway
and have even gone so far as to chase some people into their cars, a point at which, they disappear without a trace.

All of the buildings exhibit these traits, especially the boiler room where the room grows cold and a stench begins to fill it. Many people have also reported a feeling
of being watched, as well as someone unseen whispering incoherently into their ear. Poltergeist activity was also noted, mainly the hiding of flashlights and things appearing in different places than
they were before. Pictures revealed hundreds of orbs and plasma streaks.
